Title: *Snoring* ...*Wakes Up* Say What..? *Back to Snoring*
Product review: Read: 6/12Rate: 1/56/12: Beyond Numeracy is what I call a "snooze fest." It's so tedious that it took me a couple of months to finish reading...during my bathroom breaks. I've a couple of degrees in mathematics, and I've read enough literature to know what's common knowledge for a mathematician. Every chapter in Beyond Numeracy, I could predict exactly what the author will discuss, and he does so perfectly each time. By the end, I found nothing new nor interesting. Now, will a non-mathematician like the book? I highly say...no because it's too technical, especially the writing. The author tries to be funny and witty but fails to do so. What he did is elitism. And that will put off many readers quite fast from the outset. All in all, for the tyros, there are way better books than Beyond Numeracy if they are interested in exploring the obscure; for the others, just move on and continue your window shopping as usual.
