The author promises in the preface to provide surprising, not especially well know ideas which highlight the idea of proof and have practical applications but require only a high school math background. A tall order, but mostly accomplished.
Not that many applications are discussed. This is a great way to get interested in the topics covered. It is the kind of book I wish I had in late high school or early college when I was introduced to calculus and linear algebra in a very abstract way. A good review of some of mathematics most intriguing discoveries, easy to read for a technical person.
I would not recommend it for someone with no math or science background. But I do have my preferences regarding math topics, and number theory is definitely not one of them. This book does contain a number of chapters on number theory subjects. However, I found the presentations to be so well done that I enjoyed them as much as the other topics discussed in the book.
And these did not take anything away from my reading enjoyment. In addition, I did learn several rather interesting tidbits.
