Review of "Euclid's window" on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

It really took til 1481 to make notation for '+'....

There was something else but I drank too much soda today...

Anyway this book had a handful of historical insights I haven't seen anywhere else - but the last half was nothing but string theory. Not that its a bad thing, I just don't think its provable & probably won't be for decades to come.
