The Universe in the Rearview Mirror: How Hidden Symmetries Shape RealityThe Universe in the Rearview Mirror: How Hidden Symmetries Shape Reality by Dave Goldberg

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Liked the mathematical connotation, and the broad overview, not so much of toning down to meet extensive readership, but understandable for a popular genre.

Unknown Quantity: A Real and Imaginary History of AlgebraUnknown Quantity: A Real and Imaginary History of Algebra by John Derbyshire

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Also it’s good to know that 626 people so far requested the title: Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We?
