Maths

This is about mathematics as it pertains to reasoning and uncertainty. Some key works are:

• Byers How Mathematicians Think (possibly).
• Schwartz The Pernicious Influence of Mathematics(possibly).
  • Evans Our money would be safer with gamblers (maybe).
    (Blames matheticians and scientists for the 2008 crash, and strongly advocating a ‘Bayesian’ approach.)
• Shannon The Mathematical Theory of Communication (for small worlds).

• Logic
• Rationality and uncertainty, especially probability.
