Mathematics

[close] (see title) Planning to read one book a month until we decide that's too much or too little. -We'll begin reading each new book on the first of the month. Be ready to discuss by the last week of the month. -Books will be chosen on a rotating basis between moderators. Moderator is responsible for providing questions and topics for group discussion, condensing all discussion into a digest-version "Bookclub Review" of the book in question, compiling quotations from the book that speak to its purpose and gravity, and following up with a group-specific rating out of five stars. Moderator will also be responsible for leading a "follow-up" thread after each book to determine good and bad aspects of each book so future book choices can be influenced by the group's preferences. -Non-choosing members are responsible for responding to questions, posting a thoughtful response, generally participating in discussion and questions, and (obviously) reading the book. Let it be known that if you become an inactive piece of dead-weight shit, you will be booted from our awesome group, never to return again..... unless you ask real nice.

[close] A place to discuss cool math/physics/computer science/ other non-fiction, sciencey books and anything else relevant/interesting. Eventually, it would be nice to read books together, particularly if there is problem solving involved - if people join and are interested in that, we can do that. For LaTeX in your posts use this extension. Test: [;-1 = e^{i\pi};]

[close] The aim of this group is to understand the universe. We are interested to discuss books about science and fiction that is related to the exploration of science and life. If you like the topic, you might love my book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23400620-odes https://www.facebook.com/odesbook This is a part of the metaphysical fiction series about the meaning of life and the role of science.

[close] We only read books about mathematics; the goal is to read one book a month. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott is February's book. I encourage anyone who wants to join this group to post on the discussion board and recommend books to read.
