“For people who want to see some actual math in their pop math books, all the books by William Dunham are superb. I especially recommend “Journey through genius” and “The calculus gallery”. “Prime obsession” by John Derbyshire is also excellent.”
“@Singularitarian I’m not aware of any book devoted to exclusively to the biography of von Neumann, but this book does some of that along with sketching the history of game theory in connection with the Cold War:”
“Brian Greene's new book "Until the End of Time" will be released in just two days. Can't wait! Best of luck with the launch, @bgreene, and thanks for all you do to communicate the wonders of modern physics.”
