This is a introduction to mathematics for non-mathematicians, and therefore only enjoyable to people who don't know math or who really know math. Pretty good overall; the bit on calculus was a bit tedious, but she warned that it might be and advised people to just skip it if they found it to be so. Of course, the bit on logic was highly annoying since she essentially treated constructive logic like a heretic sect of a well established religion. But yes, enjoyable and worth the $7.95 it cost (I love Dover!).
