    How much of this book will I be able to grasp, given that my math education stopped with an undergrad course in real analysis?

    Great book, it must be noted that wikipedia lists the first edition from 1998 but it is now in it's sixth edition (2018)

    Is it written for a general audience, with sufficient explanations from an elementary standpoint, discussions on background, why a proof is brilliant, etc, or is it more like a collection of abstruse mathematics papers?

    > "The Book" in which God keeps the most elegant proof of each mathematical theorem

    > The proofs include: Six proofs of the infinitude of the primes
