Manual of Political Economy - Pareto
The Laws - Plato
The Federalist Papers

By far the most technical thing I’m reading is the Manual of Political Economy, just trying to piece together everything he is saying is mind boggling. He seems to have a bent against non-mathematical economics, which I don’t think is entirely fair, however the level of depth he adds to economic analysis through analyzing it through the three forms of economic activity is breathtaking. Whereas Leon Walras only had one lesson for Monopolies at the very end of his book, Pareto seems keen on explaining monopolies as they occur for any given pair of lines of exchanges, or what comes down to the same thing a production curve, and a consumers price curve, by utilizing the Numéraire. He also adds a third type for socialism. It’s fascinating, but sometimes confusing with the way he words things. The technical analysis is vastly different from Walras who determined the equations in the middle of the book, whereas Pareto seems to have done this at the very end.

Anyway, that’s the most technical thing I’m reading until I get Diophantus’ Arithmetica in the mail. Then I’ll have some fun analyzing Diophantine equations.

And Plato is of course interesting. Book V of the Laws is very similar to The Republic, but more defined and realistic. A managed Economy seems to have been thought comptible with some kind of Monarchy. As is typical of the Platonic dialogues.

Hey fellow 26 year-old. Do you feel old? I’m starting to feel very old. It stresses me out a great deal. In fact I obsess over it. Always thought I would have accomplished more.

I'm 28anon and you are neurotic. I feel as young as I ever did. You'll have tospecify what it is that makes you feel old. Is it just the number? The number is pretty arbitrary. Sometimes I forget how old I am, it ceases to have any real bearing once you're old enough to do anything

-Makes me appreciate Neverwhere by Gaiman more
-would recommend to smooth brained anons who want an easy read and want an incredibly shallow novel
Don Quixote
-only a few chapters in but I think Don Quixote is a really interesting character
-so many obscure refrences which sort of bog down the narrative
-most relatable book I've read since Confederacy of Dunces

4 books per month is a decent pace user. How do you keep that up? One book at a time or multiple?

Waiting on the first two Pynchon novels to come in the mail, not sure which one to read first

Neither, he’s a hack. But you’ll learn some interesting words which is nice.

Book 10 introduces some very difficult concepts. Euclid’s Elements should take you a couple months to finish. Not because you couldn’t read it all in one day, but just because you have to be very careful to make sure you absorb all the information and propositions.

It is THE math/logic book. Abe Lincoln always had a copy on him. I loved it. If you don’t skip anything, Euclid ties it all together in the last few propositions of Book XIII. Utilizing propositions from ten, which in turn utilize Arithmetica land geometrical propositions proved previously. It’s absolutely beautiful and genius how he does it. If you think for two seconds about the amount of sheer genius it would require to come up with this sort of thing you’d be absolutely dumbstruck.

That should be ‘Arithmetic and geometrical’

Although I am about to start reading Arithmetica by Diophantus. Should be arriving today.

Xenophon's Anabasis

I haven't skipped anything, I've taken my time to read, re-read, read it again if necessary, sometimes look up for explanations, etc. I agree that it is beautiful too, seeing it being built from the simplest propositions on book one. If you like this 'mathematics aesthetics' and joyce, give this a read
joycegeek.com/2015/01/08/artmath/
found this a when I was starting the Elements, decent blog.

after euclid, I intend to read archimedes and apollonius. Have you read them? thougts, suggestions?

Yes I have. Archimedes is, in my opinion, important before On Conics (which is what I assume you’ll be reading after Archimedes). Now, unlike Apollonius, a whole truckload of Archimedean stuff survives down to this day. If you read everything he’s written, you’ll be going over hydrodynamics, Archimedean spirals, and the most important thing you should read, Conoids, Spheroids, and the shapes you get from cutting them with planes (like Circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, which are the only things Apollonius goes over). It’s fascinating, especially the problems where he notates different mathematicians methods of solving them, although I will admit at the time some of that complex, layered analysis went over my head.

That’s pretty much where I’m at, after doing what you’re doing. Most people select just the first three books of On Conics to read, I would recommend that. And you don’t have to read everything Archimedes wrote, just the stuff on Levers and spheroids and conoids, and the spirals, and the derivation of PI (he utilized the mathematical process of exhaustion of course).

I just finished Introduction to Arithmetic by Nicomachus a couple weeks back so now I’m about to begin Arithmetica :D.

>Beloved (for shitty Lit class)
I am SO sorry..

It’s honestly depressing what has happen to University level curriculum. I lived my entire youth believing I’d become a professor of literature. Then I went to a top-tier University to study literature and... well, you can guess. I took a Shakespeare Course, in which we did not read Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, The Tempest, or really any of his best. The first several months were dedicated to The Taming of the Shrew and it’s feminist undertones. Then we watched 10 Things I Hate About You and I was forced to write an analysis on their similarities and the way it was adapted. Then I took a lit theory class, again all feminism, and my white female professor told the entire class (all Caucasian) that each of us were racist, and that men and women are biologically indistinguishable.

The only course I took worth its salt was a Children’s Literature course during my senior year, wherein we studied transcendentalism via Charlottes Web and a few other works.

Needless to say, my education was utterly wasted by these people, and any meaningful reading I did was either on my own time or in the philosophy courses I took.

by any chance, do you have the britannica volume with these 4 guys? Because I do, and I actually intend to read Nicomachus at the end, and it is in this order in the Britannica volume.
>pictured

also, do you have a 'math plan' or a defined objective? I'm not quite sure where to go after finishing with the greek mathematicians. And by Arithmetica, do you mean newton's Arithmetica universalis? If so, do you intend to read his Principia mathematica as well? thanks again, godspeed
