Considering how disastrous things currently are, let’s imagine possible, better alternatives:
-Robust, universal public health policy. Everyone can access top quality healthcare & preventive care w/o regard to income or status b/c we make quality of life a top priority

"Joy is a word that comes to mind when I think about this book . . . I read it and I think better. I think deeper, I think wider, I laugh out loud." —@mroachsmith on MATH WITHOUT NUMBERS by @milobela

On the More or Less podcast...
@TimHarford speaks to @milobela who has written a book called ‘Math without Numbers’.
Milo explains why he wanted to strip out digits to make it easier to describe the beauty of mathematics.

Constraints fuel creativity.

I loved this delightful book - and @milobela 's self-imposed constraint: Math Without Numbers.

Seek beautiful constraints!
Me leí en una sentada el libro "Math Without Numbers" de @milobela, simplemente espectacular... recomendado. Muchas ideas para enseñanza de las matemáticas #STEM#educacion
It’s a direct through-line from slavery to the Civil War to the assassination of Lincoln to the overthrow of Reconstruction to the rise of Jim Crow to the civil rights movement to the voting rights act to the election of Obama to the gutting of the VRA to Trump, 1/6 & GA’s SB202
@milobela's Math Without Numbers arrived this afternoon and I've already finished it! I will be recommending it to pretty much everyone in my life. Milo Beckman proves that even complex mathematical topics can be made accessible to all 😍 #Maths#book
I just received this new book, and at a glance, it looks terrific. Very creatively conceived, written, and illustrated. I came to that conclusion after reading two pages at random. Take a look at them below and see what you think:
Without using any numbers, @milobela wrote a book about the math behind multiple infinities, strange topologies, extra dimensions, and other fascinating and complex ideas that usually only make sense when scribbled in strange notations on a blackboard. https://t.co/HFx7n9epot
RECOMMENDATION: Math Without Numbers by @milobela is a wonderful, fun exploration of many mathematical concepts, free of jargon and scary notation. Ideal for math-phobic people. Have already recommended it to parents of teens I know to help their kids expand their view of maths!
