S is for Science: "Numerical Laws and the Use of Mathematics in Science" by Norman Robert Campbell

 9-222

"Measurement" was pretty good last week, so I'll give ol' Normie another shot.

S is also for (deep breath): Same and Other, Sense, Sign and Symbol, Sin, Slavery, Soul, Space, State

Summary: By combining math, you can make more math.

Bonus:  A true classic!


Commentary: This one, maybe not so necessary. It deals with combining basic math rules to create more complicated ones. Some of it is interesting, but a lot of it starts to move into more niche stuff. Probably could've benefited from more tables/illustrations. 1/5: Nothing wrong with it, but not super interesting either.
