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

4.0

---

While I never had Ellenberg as my professor, I thought it might be an interesting read. As with most math books, it meanders quite a bit (perhaps a bit more than I would like). I will say, it leaves less loose ends than I’ve seen in other math popsci books. But, I’m starting to think that these sort of books are actually NOT for me. I just don’t glean as much enjoyment as I do from other genres.

I did really enjoy the conversation on gerrymandering though :)
