Science Reading of a Non-Scientist - Page 7

This is all the math and science (including history of math and science) that I remember reading. I am not a scientist or mathematician (or historian). I made the list because there seem to be only five or six short lists on science and they are hard to find among all the science fiction lists. I admit many of these are very old, but so am I, and they weren't all that old when I read them. I included everything from math to astronomy and physics to biology and zoology, but none that were only technology. Some might be questionable as to whether they are science, but there is NO pseudo-science or fringe theories as far as I can tell.
