KingCobra··on Ask HN: Are there books for mathematics like Feynman's lectures on physics?
"Mathematics Can Be Fun" by Yakov Perelman

Not really a book that has lectures but it's a great book that covers all popular topics in Mathematics (fun to read).

KingCobra··on How Can a Star Be Older Than the Universe?
It reminds me of the same question asked in this book, "The Birth of Time: How Astronomers Measured the Age of the Universe" by John Gribbin. The bottom line was that the calculations always have some approximations, which can throws off a number by a large factor.
