The sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” finds Alice back in Wonderland and a piece in a surreal chess game. This weird and wonderful book includes the poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” a talking pudding, and that immortal line “Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, but never jam today.” Lewis Carroll was the nom de plume of Charles Dodgson (1832-1890) an Anglican clergyman, photographer, and mathematician.

Nick Ledger explores minimization across math, privacy, and strategy, arguing that subtraction is the most undervalued competitive advantage. Through burritos, dating apps, and bloated org charts, he reveals why we hoard complexity and how stripping away excess unlocks creativity, clarity, and real power in business and life.

Che fine ha fatto Perelman? Sono passati vent'anni dalla sparizione di Grigorij Perelman, il geniale matematico russo che risolse il primo dei Problemi del Millennio a 36 anni e che si ritirò tre anni dopo rinunciando a fama e premi. Perché sparì? Scelse la solitudine o fu costretto? Cosa avrebbe ancora potuto dare alla scienza? In "Dov'è Perelman?" raccontiamo la sua vita, le scelte, il contesto storico e proviamo a scoprire chi è e cosa fa oggi il matematico più elusivo del mondo. Un podcast di Stefano Pisani, prodotto da MaddMaths! e distribuito da Fandango Podcast. Scritto, ideato e ...

René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: "I think, therefore I am," has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.

What Are the Chances? reveals how psychology and neuroscience explain the significance of the idea of luck. Barbara Blatchley explores how people react to random events in a range of circumstances, examining the evidence that the belief in luck helps us cope with a lack of control. She tells the stories of lucky and unlucky people as well as the accidental discoveries that fundamentally changed what we know about the brain.
