- zests 6y agoPersi is always worth reading although I have only read his papers.
- iainctduncan 6y agoMagical Mathematics is great! Dense actually, walks the "layperson" through proving how some complex card magic works with combinatorics. Really fun read, some mind bending stuff in there! The math is harder than one would expect the cover...
- sdenton4 6y ago"Group Reps" is one of my favorite math books of all time. It is a fantastic read, and completely changed the way I think about representation theory. (In short, you can generalized the Fourier transform to functions in groups and take advantage of all the usual Fourier tricks and intuitions.)
