"Mathematical discovery" encompasses books that explore how new mathematics is found, understood, and communicated — from captivating historical narratives and personal memoirs of breakthroughs to practical guides on problem-solving and the heuristics of invention. These titles focus on the creative process (intuition, conjecture, false starts and proofs), the social and historical contexts of ideas, experimental or computational approaches, and ways to teach or learn by exploration rather than rote methods. Suitable for general readers, students, and professionals, the category includes popular expositions, biographies, accounts of landmark results, collections of puzzles that lead to insight, and reflective texts on the methodology and philosophy behind mathematical progress. Keywords: creativity, discovery, problem-solving, history of math, mathematical thinking, heuristics.
