As I read more about the philosophy of mathematics I realized that most of the problems arise because we don't know much about the history of mathematics.
This book is an amazing journey from ancient times mathematics to modern time with lots of details of the development of mathematical concepts. I never forget how enjoyable this was for me in the first year of university.
