Back on this, at least for tonight. I've talked before about how readable I found most of the science in 15MAD and the math selections in TGWttGB were pretty good as well. According to Adler, this is because, up until sometime in the early 20th century, most science pieces were written with the intent it would be understandable for a layman. An intelligent/educated one, but a layman none-the-less. I never really thought about that, but it makes sense. I have a friend who is a scientist who often talks about improving scientific communication for people. Also, math is a language. The math part was definitely less interesting than the science one.
