Description:
The year's finest mathematical writing from around the world
This annual anthology brings together the year's finest mathematics writing from around the world. Featuring promising new voices alongside some of the foremost names in the field, The Best Writing on Mathematics 2020 makes available to a wide audience many articles not easily found anywhere else-and you don't need to be a mathematician to enjoy them. These writings offer surprising insights into the nature, meaning, and practice of mathematics today. They delve into the history, philosophy, teaching, and everyday aspects of math, and take readers behind the scenes of today's hottest mathematical debates.
Here, Steven Strogatz reveals how calculus drives advances in virology, Paul Thagard argues that the power of mathematics stems from its combination of realistic and fictional qualities, and Erica Klarreich describes how Hao Huang used the combinatorics of cube nodes to solve a longstanding problem in computer science. In other essays, John Baez tells how he discovered the irresistible attractions of algebraic geometry, Mark Colyvan compares the radically different explanatory practices of mathematics and science, and Boris Odehnal reviews some surprising properties of multidimensional geometries. And there's much, much more.
In addition to presenting the year's most memorable writings on mathematics, this must-have anthology includes a bibliography of other notable writings and an introduction by the editor.
This book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in where math has taken us-and where it is headed.

So Soft!
Size: 50" X 60", Color: Cheetah Print Brown
This is the softest coziest blanket! It's a good medium weight, and does not shed. It's the one I grab every time I need a blanket.

Best blanket EVER!
I honestly LOVE this blanket! I never thought I would be so in love with a blanket, but here I am! I’m planning on buying more to safe as replacements for this one is old. When I first got it, I was skeptical I would like it or not. It was so much thinner than I expected and the shape was an odd shape (long and narrow, not a square shape like I’m used to my blankets being). To me it resembled a rug more than a blanket. But, from the first night of using it I was OBSESSED! It keeps me warm and is SO comfortable! I use it on either side, and it keeps me warm either way. If you are debating purchasing this blanket! DO IT! You won’t regret it! Even my cats love it!

Great blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King
Liteweight, cooling, and no stray strands. We've had it for over a month and no issues. Also very soft. Perfect summer blanket.
Update: Still no picking issues. I appreciate that the fabric is light and does does not cause our washing machine to become unbalanced. So it still looks good and is great for hot sleepers.

Wonderful, non-snaggable blanket
Color: White, Size: Queen
NO cat snags at all! After reading the reviews, I had reservations about getting this because of some comments about cats possibly snagging the threads on this. I'm happy to report that my two rambunctious cats have not harmed a single thread after sleeping on it with me in over a month. It's the perfect weight, and very attractive. The quality is vastly superior to what you would expect for the price!
