wescovington 's review for:

Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else by Jordan Ellenberg

3.0

---

Ellenberg believes that geometry is the basis for all of our mathematical knowledge and I can see his point, but sometimes this book gets lost in dark corners of the mathematics world.

The final chapter, on reapportionment, is very long and takes a long time to state that it’s just one of those things that people have to live with.
