Integers
 | from the back cover: "God created the integers. All the rest is the work of Man."-Leopold Kronecker |
Pretty random title recommended to me today in the Amazon book store. This looks to be the most recent of Hawking's books. I'm not sure whether I want to begin by calling to question the arrogance of the above quote or the prominent depiction of π and smaller of ∞ on the cover, neither integers but respectively transcendental and hyperreal numbers. But that said, the recommendation was apt and I rather would like to check it out.

Hey, are you going to any of the plays with Tembi and the gang? I'm thinking about going to Les Mis...
Hey, I don't know if it's proper form to reply here or more directly to you, but I'll definitely attend Les Mis (only seen it once, have to catch up, even if only proportionally) and perhaps Joseph, depending (haven't seen that one *since THS*).
A quality show and folks from Lacey mixed in with my Seattle crowd -- I love it! So what's to hold you back?
