The author says in the preface that the book should be accessible to anybody with a maths GCSE. Apparently a maths GCSE is more difficult than a maths O Level. I kept my head above water (I think) till Chapter 6 when we hit geometry, which was my downfall with school maths as well. I just skimmed Chapter 7 on estimates and approximations but re-surfaced with the FAQ in the final chapter, which was more about mathematicians than mathematics.

TheBookHippie I still have nightmares about geometry class…😂😩 5mo
Bookwormjillk I was a really good math student (if you don‘t count geometry.) 5mo
dabbe I'm just the opposite. I adored geometry but was horrible at algebra--especially story problems like the one below.

If a train leaves the station with 5 carts of bananas and drives west for 250 miles, how many mangos does he have? 😂

rwmg @dabbe Since I was already a reader with a penchant for mysteries, I felt I was on familiar territory with algebra and story problems, but as somebody with poor spatial sense it was a struggle to relate geometry and trigonometry to anything I was familiar with. 5mo

So this came up in an automatic recommendation box as something I might be interested in and ...

I don't know man, what are you trying to say?

swynn I should add: yes, I know what Lie Theory is, just enough to make the recommendation not entirely from left field. Still it gives me a giggle 1y

I always set my reading goal low so I don‘t have to really think about meeting it. Read so many good books last year 💕

BarbaraBB Great stats! And such recognizable moods 😃 2y

I didn‘t set a number goal this year, & for those of you who pay attention to totals, I track children‘s books & graphic novels which I know many don‘t, so subtracting those would put my total closer to 140. I‘m MOST pleased that StoryGraph tells me 25% of my reading this year was nonfiction, & that 40% of my reading was content I owned (though next year I want to track just the books that have been on my physical shelves for a long time).

eeclayton Wow, congrats! 🎉 2y
wanderinglynn Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉 (edited) 2y
5feet.of.fury Ooooh I didn‘t even know Storygraph did this, I have to go check mine! 2y
