A Mathematician's Apology

War as a distinction between the realms of pure and applied math is quite provocative.

I read this on a pirate ship. It was pretty alright; I liked a lot of Hardy's descriptions of what it feels like to be a mathematician. In terms of content, there's not much here for a non-mathematician. A light read that I enjoyed but didn't feel as though it improved my life in any way.

Somewhat recommended if you're already interested, skip it if you're not.
