Title: Beckmann -- Yet Another Professor Making UC Boulder Look Bad
Review: Beckmann, a former professor at UC Boulder, should've known better. Of course, what should we expect from someone who spent most of his life trying to debunk the theory of relativity?As many of the reviews have stated, Beckmann spends a lot of time discussing his pet political opinions and not a lot of time actually discussing pi. His tone is horrible and most of his asides aren't only unrelated to his arguments, but completely unsupported. Although I agreed with a lot of his opinions, they had no place in a book about the history of mathematics.If you're looking for a general history on mathematics with a lot of hyperliberal rants, then this might be the book for you.
