Bass player successfully daylighting as an embedded software engineer. I like to learn and that's mainly what my reading is all about.

I really love how this book starts from the fundamentals and builds up to the discrete Fourier transform. The idea of the frequency domain and time domain being different coordinates in the same space is also something that blew my mind. It makes sense when you study it, but it's not something that was immediately obvious to me. I'm definitely going to go on to the next book in the series about filters. 10/10 would recommend.

Chasing after a theorem through the ages
5 stars
I really enjoyed this book, it's like a thriller, chasing around the world through time to find the missing pieces to prove the theorem. For me the book might've gone a bit deeper on the different mathematical topics rather than just give a quick overview, but that would have made it way less appealing to a general audience so I totally understand the author here.
