Hi Mike,
Flatterland by Ian Stewart has been read, and in the
main, understood.
From time to time I have a mild interest in this stuff and it
certainly broadens one's outlook. I could say that most of Stewart's
contribution I had met elsewhere, but that's not a criticism.
I began to wonder whether Abbott would have been happy with Stewart's
sequel, and that led me towards researching Abbott himself. He
seems a most interesting character. A prominent Shakespearean
scholar for a start. I hadn't got far before I came across the
attached link and it seems initially that there is an attempted link
between maths, science and religion. I find that proposition
highly satisfying.
Will write when I have more to say .
Cheers Pop
