Enjoyed the accessible writing about geometry and the connections to current events.

Naive Lie Theory | John Stillwell

So this came up in an automatic recommendation box as something I might be interested in and ...

I don't know man, what are you trying to say?

swynn I should add: yes, I know what Lie Theory is, just enough to make the recommendation not entirely from left field. Still it gives me a giggle 2mo
Ruthiella Don‘t believe everything algorithms are trying to tell you! 😂 2mo

Flatland | Edwin Abbott

Another one I'm reading for Twitch. Abbott is really committed to the world-building of his intellectual exercises here. I think the social satire aspects are under-valued in most analysis of it, which tend to focus on the math. I had fun showing chat a lobster bustle, as the size of the Victorian lady's bustle was at its peak when this was written and there's a whole bit about swaying ladies' backsides for visibility.

“Because Paul Erdos was a genus-and he shared his brain. He helped people with their math problems and gave them more problems to do. Plus, he was a math matchmaker.
He introduced mathematicians all over the world to one another so they could work together”

I love how this book engages readers through the intricate storytelling and vivid illustrations. The author really makes this story an enjoyable and informative read for anyone curious about the life of a mathematical genius.

This book is a biography that dives into the extraordinary life of the renowned mathematician Paul Erdos. The book captures Erdos's passion for numbers and the unique way he approached math. This book does a great job of exploring his brilliant mind and his unconventional, nomadic lifestyle in the world of math.

I always set my reading goal low so I don‘t have to really think about meeting it. Read so many good books last year 💕

I didn‘t set a number goal this year, & for those of you who pay attention to totals, I track children‘s books & graphic novels which I know many don‘t, so subtracting those would put my total closer to 140. I‘m MOST pleased that StoryGraph tells me 25% of my reading this year was nonfiction, & that 40% of my reading was content I owned (though next year I want to track just the books that have been on my physical shelves for a long time).

eeclayton Wow, congrats! 🎉 3mo
wanderinglynn Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉 (edited) 3mo
5feet.of.fury Ooooh I didn‘t even know Storygraph did this, I have to go check mine! 3mo
