Once upon a prime : the Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature:

Needs to be owned not borrowed!

This title attracted the lowest level of attendance in my time as discussion leader. Here are the points that I captured from our discussion:

  • Good material for a lecture plus laboratories series (online or in person);
  • Well written but too much going on;
  • Interesting to experience so directly an author’s passion;
  • Author seemed oblivious to the gap between what she considers an explanation and the ordinary “not mathematical” person’s understanding;
  • Found it very enlightening and will certainly be alert for mathematical connotations in my reading from now on.
  • Frustrated as the audio book borrowed from the library did not include the pdf referenced in the audio book;
  • Interesting but not one I would recommend.
