Review of 'How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking' on 'Goodreads'

Wow, finally done. This is a really good book full of great references and excellent information. The whole discussion of why math should continue to be thought about not in a sense of some terrible prerequisite to something more important, but more of a training in common sense. Excellent piece. Only thing I'd argue against it is that it really should have been edited down a bit. Ellenberg often used references from multiple people to drive home a point where one was all that's necessary. But still a good read, recommended.
