Mathematica: A Secret World of Intuition and Curiosity- David Bessis

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200128457-mathematica?ac...

Excellent book on mathematical thinking in the true sense - what needs to happen in the mind's eye to really grapple with abstract mathematics. Definitely a eye (mind?) opener for someone who has some graduate level math education but couldn't gel with the crazier stuff.

Came across the book from this article which was on HN a little bit ago: https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematical-thinking-isnt-wh...

It's on my list, really looking forward to reading it.

I actually ran into it a few weeks before that article, then again when the article came out.

+1 this book is on my reading list for this year.
