“This book reminds me of James Gleick's Chaos. The ideas and stories in Loving and Hating Mathematics are timely, interesting, and sometimes even profound. The authors, writing for nonspecialists, take pains to explain technical ideas in nontechnical language, and the book should interest general readers as well as a large mathematical audience.” ShouldWritingWellsBookIdeasSometimesStoriesPainHateLanguageInterestInterestingAudienceReaderMathematicsProfoundChaosMathematicalTimely Author:Steven G.
