Ep 6: Deep in the forest... of Mathematics
Manage episode 312504862 series 3236939
Why don’t we read more comics? Especially those that are labours of love, that hold your hand and take you to places you’ve been too intimidated to enter. Amruta Patil (@hathoric) and Devdutt Pattanaik (@devduttmyth) riff off Indian Spiritual texts to create a fresh take. And Apostolos Doxiadis (@apdox) and Christos Papadimitriou give us a layered, unconventional biography of modern mathematics through the eyes of Bertrand Russell.
This is episode #6 of Bookasur, talking about two amazing comics that make you go, “why didn’t I read these before?”
Books featured:
Aranyaka, by Amruta Patil and Devdutt Pattanaik, published by Tranquebar.
Logicomix, by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou, published by Bloomsbury.
