Anybody got a Harold Jacob’s “Mathematics, A Human Endeavor” book they want to sell me for cheap? Never mind. I found a second edition copy that I purchased for $26.<\/p>\n
I should not have. H.o.p. will hate it. But we’ll have it none-the-less.<\/p>\n
I’m on a math list that is starting a study using the book, the plan being to use the first edition as it was very available and cheaper than the 3rd edition which goes for something like $75. But everyone started buying the first edition and the cost leaped to $50 and up for it.<\/p>\n
In the meanwhile, Amazon tells me that I would be interested in all these books on the Mysteries of Mithras, which I would be, but there are so many and I can’t decide which one to buy. And I need other things besides.<\/p>\n
Or I don’t.<\/p>\n
Do I really need to buy a book specially on the Periodic Table of Elements with its own chart appropriate for hanging on the wall? A couple of months ago, I joined another list specifically for learning the Periodic Table of Elements and purchased a Periodic Table of Elements through it and was a little dismayed by the Table and accompanying material, that I paid for information that I can find better presented on the internet, nor have I been impressed with the list. But such is life and I didn’t pay that much. So…whatever.<\/p>\n
Instead of buying any books on the Mysteries of Mithras I instead purchased for H.o.p. The Story of Mankind<\/a> and A Little History of the World<\/a> and The Story of Art<\/a> and The Periodic Table, Elements with Style<\/a>.<\/p>\n As my reward for spending my money on periodic tables instead of Mithraic Mysteries, I’m now going to go watch “Shakes, the Clown”.<\/p>\n I love that movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anybody got a Harold Jacob’s “Mathematics, A Human Endeavor” book they want to sell me for cheap?
