page turner,

This review is from: Mathematical Methods in Science (MAA New Mathematical Library: Vol.26) (Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
This book describes plausible arguments for different laws of physics, like how levers work. There is the right amount of causual prose, mathematics, history, and cleverness blended together. I was able to think of fluid dynamics with his style of approaching things. The principle of insufficient reason he describes led me to develop my own test to see whether cars on the other side of the road were going faster or slower than me, which is practicle for when you don't know the speed limit.

This review is from: Mathematical Methods in Science (MAA New Mathematical Library: Vol.26) (Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
If you read Toeplitz's generic method and found it insufficient, this is the book that makes you happy.
People thinks Math helps Science but Polya shows the opposite is also true. Nowadays, almost everybody tells about the generic method and Toeplitz but I found Polya is much better than Toeplitz. Don't talk about generic method in math education without this book. |
