I'm wondering if there are any good books for a semi-layperson (I study math in school, but at a low level right now), which detail the history of math. I'd be interested in knowing:
Major Names (such as Euclid)
Major Developments in Ideas (such as how calculus was created, how algebra came about, etc.)
...but all of which was written in a way that a layperson could decently understand (say with a high school math education). Do any such books exist?
