User blog:DecskySikh34311/Googology Bookclub Idea

Hello community! Today there is idea I came up with, which is both educational and fun. Recently, I noticed that there's been a lot of salad numbers and not-so-original notations, (hey, no offense, just pointing something out!), and so I thought: "what better way to encourage stronger notations than to learn from the experts themselves?"

So this is the zeroth meeting, (the zeroth rather than the first because no-one was given advanced warning of it), of what I proudly present as...(pause for dramatic effect)...the Googology Bookclub!

Hold on, let's try that again...

There, fancy font makes anything better!

For every meeting of this bookclub, I will share what I've personally learned then let you share your thoughts in the comments, so that together we can come to a better understanding of the concepts introduced in the said book and clarify each other's confusion.

Here are possible options for the first meeting of the Googology Bookclub, which will be on March 20, the first day of Spring:


 * Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter
 * One to Infinity: A Guide to the Finite by Sbiis Saibian

Vote to select which one you'd like, or comment below to propose a book that isn't on the list!

Would you rather read and discuss... Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter One to Infinity: A Guide to the Finite by Sbiis Saibian

The winner by March 19, 2018, in just a few hours, will be the book to discuss on March 20, 2018 - but just the first chapter! You don't have to read the entire thing, but you can if you want to, just try to avoid spoilers or advanced stuff!

You can read Godel, Escher, Bach here, (it's a PDF), and you can read One to Infinity here of course.
