  …mentioned yet "Geometry and the Imagination" by Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen. If there is a Feynman equivalent in math it is certainly this book. For elementary geometry, the Feynman equivalent is probably "Introduction to Geometry", by H.S.M.Coxeter. Beautifully written, figures on every page, covers all geometric topics (affine, projective, ordered, differential, ...) For differential geometry, nothing beats "A Panoramic view…
