[CALIBK12] Math reading books for High School (not textbooks)

[Ann Sperske]

Here's a very complete, large list for you... created by a voracious
reader/math teacher because she requires outside reading of all her
students and wants our library to make sure we have enough books! This
list has fiction, non-fiction and biography titles on it.

Hello all!
 
I've got a teacher request for more math fiction and math non-fiction
(but not textbook-type stuff).  I've got a few of the ones from the
CDE's Math and Science Literature list (
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/sc/ll/).  These include Flatland, Proof, Once
Upon a Number, etc.  I've got a few, (and I just got The Number Devil),
but can you recommend any other math fiction or non-fiction book at the
high school/adult level that students might enjoy?  Even if the books
are on the CDE list, I'd like to read any and all recommendations.
 
Thank you,

and 'corroborated' now mean whatever the majority says they mean.
Personally, I'm voting for 'research' to mean 'speculation' and
'corroborated' to mean 'a zesty sour cream-based dip.'"
