I was lucky to see an early draft of this book, and I highly recommend it. The book makes math less mysterious and more accessible, making famous mathematicians more human. You might also learn some new math along the way. Overall, it’s a great book at Jay’s affordable pricing.

My live reaction to reading the appendix contents of Jay Cummings 's new Math History textbook. This is gonna be the perfect summer read.

Another fun fact: While Napoleon was on Elba, Bertrand Russel’s grandfather visited him. His grandfather would later become Prime Minister of the UK.

I plan to make lecture videos on my textbooks, starting with my Proofs one, which I’ll post to YouTube. If you have any thoughts or suggestions on any part of this project, let me know! Could be content, style, logistics, presentation, recording tools, editing software, etc

Thanks for these suggestions! Keep them coming! And if you want to see my eventual YouTube videos, then you can subscribe here: youtube.com/@LongFormMath

Going to make some YouTube videos soon. Today I worked on my best Grant Sanderson impression.

Being a dad is amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

I write "long-form math" books. A few years ago I thought of the phrase "Long-Form Merch" and thought, "well, now I have to do it." I'll add more over time, but in case you want some fun math-based merch, you can check it out my Etsy store here: etsy.com/shop/LongFormM…
