PTSD

Oh, why?

Great name for a book, I reckon. I love it that the man tries to answer one of human history's enduring questions in a mere 224 pages. Someone should have sent this memo to many of the writers we have to read in the course of PhD-ing: Keep things simple and have a catchy title (that's pretty much the plan for my PhD. Or, as much of a plan as I have right now)

Go here to have a look at more information on it (Tilly's books, not my PhD. Yous have to wait a year or two for that one).

"So, ultimately, in order to understand nature it may be necessary to have a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships. But the real reason is that the subject is enjoyable, and although we humans cut nature up in different ways, and we have different courses in different departments, such compartmentalization is really artificial, and we should take our intellectual pleasures where we find them."
