This review is from: The Best Writing on Mathematics 2010 (Paperback)
This is a great collection of math articles and papers from the year 2010. Sure most of it is out there on the internet, but the author does a great job of organizing and presenting math from the historical, philosophical, applied, and academic.The description does not really do this book justice, since they don't even highlight some of the best articles in the book. There are a few great articles on applied math. My personal favorite and worth the price of the book is the one on probability and optimizing your odds by knowing when to stop. And there is a great one on math and the internet. Tim Gowers has a contribution. The other side of this are the critical articles addressing issues related to math and academics. For me it was the ADA article, since I am disabled. And a critical look at Calculus textbooks, and how the simplification of terminology is hurting students. ( an oversimplification ). I have only touched on some of my favorites. this spans all aspects of math and is not a purely academic read. |
