My Summer Reading List<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having an industry job, I will not have any real change in my routine as summer hits. But I still think of summer as the season of reading for pleasure. So what are some new books out there that I\u2019m thinking of reading, and where on the web can you find some excellent reviews of them?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1)\u00a0\u00a0 Love and Math<\/strong> by Edward Frenkel<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0\u00a0 How Not to Be Wrong<\/strong> by Jordan Ellenberg\u2014wasn\u2019t on my list until today after having read the following two reviews:<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0\u00a0 The Best Writing in Mathematics<\/strong> edited by Mircea Pitici includes an article by my academic sister, Kelly Delp, on Topology and Fashion — that\u2019s reason enough for me to buy the book J. \u00a0This title has been a yearly publication of Princeton University Press since 2010.<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0\u00a0 50 Visions of Mathematics<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m drawn to any book that focuses on the visual beauty of mathematics.<\/p>\n 5)\u00a0\u00a0 Beautiful Geometry<\/strong> by Eli Maor, Eugen Jost<\/p>\n Again, pretty pictures!!! This is coauthored by an artist and a mathematician.<\/p>\n 6)\u00a0\u00a0 Doing Data Science<\/strong> by Cathy O\u2019Neil and Rachel Schutt<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0\u00a0 Our Mathematical Universe<\/strong> Max Tegmark<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are certainly no guarantees that I will get around to reading all of these\u2014but in my experience, the first step to reaching a goal is setting it J. What\u2019s on your summer reading list?<\/p>\n\n
