Am very much impressed on the way "The Feynman's lectures on Physics" teaches Physics. Would like to know whether there is any book on Mathematics that is wrote on the same style.

For people who do not know about, "The Feynman's lectures on Physics" :
This book teaches Physics in an unconventional way, which enables even poeple with lesser Physics knowledge to have a much deeper understanding of the concepts/laws/theorms/hypothesis' of Physics. It explains tougher concepts in a easy to understand way through illustrations from day-to-day life events. It does not treat Physics as a "subject", but a means to understand the world we live in, the universe we belong to in a better way - which is the sole theme of Physics.

Here are a few books that introduce math concepts gently:
"A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper" by John Allen Paulos.
"Beyond Numeracy" also by John Allen Paulos.
"A Mathematical Mystery Tour: Discovering the Truth and Beauty of the Cosmos" by A.K. Dewdney

I haven't read the Feynman Lectures, but for a general overall view on the field of mathematics, wander down to your bookstore and peek through "The Mathematical Experience," by Philip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh. The entire book is a series of essays that give a history of math, issues in its study and teaching, and the ethics and philosophy of math... doing so without completely losing the non-math head.

There's a friendly book by Ian Stewart called Concepts of Modern Mathematics. It explores some topics in number theory, real analysis, and non-euclidean geometry in a not very rigorous manner.

there is no longer something of the kind... regrettably. Spivak has a calculus e book which teaches the problem ok and fastidiously for the newbie, yet mathematics is a topic in which you would possibly want to persist with each and every information to get to the subsequent step.
