I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book because it was very interesting. It interested me because it contained fantastic facts about the hidden or known discoveries of famous or less popular scientists and mathematicians such as Brahmagupta, Srinivas Brahmagupta, Chandra and Satyendra Nath Bose. I would recommend it to other people, especially people who are interested in STEM.
