That's cool. As you may've guessed, I understand relatively little of the mathematics. Though I just had a review of a book called The Square Root of 2, which our reviewer will be saying is "an ideal gift for any bright young person with computational ability and self-directed reading curiosity but who
is as yet unconvinced of the value of algebraic reasoning." Which is rather a nice way of putting it.

And which makes me wish the bright young person with (some) computational ability I once was had had more self-directed reading curiosity. At least in maths. I had plenty self-directed reading curiosity about sex, fer instance.

These days I have more self-distracted reading curiosity.
