The Grapes of Math: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life by Alex Bellos

3.0

This book feels like it's mostly for math geeks. Bellos had me only in bits and pieces. He reminded me of why I stopped figuring when I got to high school calculus. Too many formulas! (And maybe too many bad math teachers). I did like the history (when I could understand it). The pursuit of e and pi had me happily thinking about infinity, exponential growth, and exponential decay. And I am finally understanding why I like 7 so much.
