Was this supposed to be a chapter?
Revisado: 09-21-20
This really feels incomplete. It starts by acknowledging 3 distinct phases of mathematical development, but only touches on one.

Infinite Powers recounts how calculus tantalized and thrilled its inventors, starting with its first glimmers in ancient Greece and bringing us right up to the discovery of gravitational waves. Strogatz reveals how this form of math rose to the challenges of each age: how to determine the area of a circle with only sand and a stick; how to explain why Mars goes "backwards" sometimes; how to turn the tide in the fight against AIDS.

Read the book
Revisado: 02-10-20
This is a great discussion of the development and use of calculus, but if you're not comfortable with the topic, the audiobook isn't the best way to read it. The narrator does a great job, but with so many equations in the text, it's just easier to read the hard copy.

Repeated stories
Revisado: 05-01-18
First Stephen Fry is great! I love his personal introductions. The content is amazing as ever and Doyle was a genius. Just know that this edition repeats the last volume, about 20 tracks twice.

The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov: shy, silent, and cruel. The four unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. This was Dostoevsky's final and best work.

A long work and a great work, but boy is it long
- De David en 03-01-11
Very dense, but worth it
Revisado: 01-17-18
This was a great performance of a complicated, but highly thoughtful classic work! Know going in that you will probably need to visit the Brothers more than once before you can really grasp everything that is being explored. The official plot is pretty straight forward, but many ideas are explored in how the three (four) brothers react to their situations.
