Pinker's review says thatthe book "quotes an expert speaking about an 'igon value' (that’s eigenvalue,.."
I haven't read the book.
Are you sure that Pinker was downplaying the "igon value" issue and that Gladwell really wrote "entire chapters on 'igon values'" ?
Which entire chapters are about "igon values" ?
- dgabriel 17y agoThere aren't entire chapters. It appears in a quote by a mathematician. Gladwell isn't trying to explain mathematics poorly, he's transcribing poorly.
