I Think, Therefore I Laugh



I finished reading I Think, Therefore I laugh by John Allen Paulos. It's good book to read...The book contains a number of anecdotes, stories, parables, puzzles in which one way or another relate to various philosophical problems. As Ludwig Wittgenstein, the Australian philosopher, one remarked that a "serious and good philosophical workd could be written that would consist entirely on jokes".

INNUMERACY by John Allen Pulos


I read by INNUMERACY - Mathematical Illiteracy and its Consequences that was recommended by Shlomi's blog. The book has a lot of examples from real life using mathematics and statistics. If you would like to read the book and understand it - use pen and paper.
