pickThe author says in the preface that the book should be accessible to anybody with a maths GCSE. Apparently a maths GCSE is more difficult than a maths O Level. I kept my head above water (I think) till Chapter 6 when we hit geometry, which was my downfall with school maths as well. I just skimmed Chapter 7 on estimates and approximations but re-surfaced with the FAQ in the final chapter, which was more about mathematicians than mathematics.
Today, I‘m sharing my haul from July.
1. Book sent to me from Riverhead Books
2. Book sent to me from Riverhead Books
3. Book preordered from Amazon. It has the light purple sprayed edges and it sounds like a book that I would like.
4. Candle ordered from Frostbeard Studio. It smells really good. I lit it inside the house when I didn‘t have power for 5 days during Hurricane Beryl.

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?
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).
Getting ready for school. Math has never been so interesting ❤️ special thx to @kwmg40 for posting about this book and sending me down this rabbit hole of learning
If a train leaves the station with 5 carts of bananas and drives west for 250 miles, how many mangos does he have? 😂 33m
