The popular Leonardo Da Vinci book

A friend of mine was kind enough to lend me a copy of Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code".

The book is a great adventure that includes brain-teasing problem solving, and also gives a great overview of the history of the Christian religion as we know it.

The only thing with this book is that it is, no less than a blockbuster. Such books need to grab a large audience, which means the book is easy to read, uses simple vocabulary, and is fast-paced. Much like a movie.

Having lately read literature classics only, this book gives itself much easier, a style which I personally dislike. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't read the book, on the contrary.

Oh, the book also mentions some of the world's most interesting mathematical equations like the Fibonacci sequence. On the web, there's an excellent introduction to these numbers, which I can also recommend.

And speaking of math, MathSoft also has a web site devoted to the most well-known mathematical constants of all times, including the golden section.
