> David Foster Wallace wrote Everything and More This is far and away my favorite math book. The way DFW can seamlessly transition from discussing a serious mathematical concept, to the nature of insanity, to the philosophy of abstraction all within a few pages is astounding. He somehow manages to do it while maintaining a conversational, two-folks-at-a-bar tone, teaching me dozens of new word, and being insightful/funny. Like an English professor sneaked into the math dept. I didn't know it was available on Kindle. Guess I'm buying it again... |
