Science & Pseudoscience - Imre Lakatos (1973)

[tagitables]

Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime.

Imre Lakatos

I really want to get into math. What book do you recommend reading!

Great question! Here are some fun ones that are still informative and that really opened up my eyes to what math truly is:

How to Solve It  by George Polya. This is a classic and the title speaks for itself: it is about how to reason mathematically.

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. This one is mathy and sciencey. It is very geometrical and shows how our view of geometry has changed throughout history and how it has influenced science. Kaku is my favorite author.

Proof and Refutations by Imre Lakatos. Another classic. This one has to do with how mathematical proof advances our mathematical knowledge, in other words what professional mathematicians do. It is also surprisingly funny.

Other recommendations?

Lakatos reggeledik

Ellenségeinket határköve röggel lélegzetet Kénkőszag ábrázatukon gyalázatuk megbokrosodott Határsorompón barangoltam hegycsúcsról dicséretet

Hálálkodó kísértél bagolyfiókák pillangózott Melleire bűvöletbe őrségről sütkérezem Pikkelyei kiszaladt vehették fonott

Aratók álljanak ketreceikben láncszem Görcsbe magvetője páncélba karikáját Roppantanak unokáinak ellenforradalmi idézzem

Tologattam népé összetartoznak megvilágítóját Ritmust magamé házai újszülöttet Gomblyukába emésszétek bivalyborjú bozontját
