The Joy of Math and Healthy Programming

Rediscover the joy and fascinating weirdness of pure mathematics, and learn how to take

a healthier approach to programming.

Mathematics is beautiful—and it can be fun and excit-

ing as well as practical. Good Math is your guide to

some of the most intriguing topics from two thousand

years of mathematics: from Egyptian fractions to Tur-

ing machines; from the real meaning of numbers to

proof trees, group symmetry, and mechanical compu-

tation. If you’ve ever wondered what lay beyond the

proofs you struggled to complete in high school geom-

etry, or what limits the capabilities of the computer on

your desk, this is the book for you.

To keep doing what you love, you need to maintain

your own systems, not just the ones you write code

for. Regular exercise and proper nutrition help you

learn, remember, concentrate, and be creative—skills

critical to doing your job well. Learn how to change

your work habits, master exercises that make working

at a computer more comfortable, and develop a plan

to keep fit, healthy, and sharp for years to come.

This book is intended only as an informative guide for

those wishing to know more about health issues. In no

way is this book intended to replace, countermand, or

conflict with the advice given to you by your own

healthcare provider including Physician, Nurse Practi-

tioner, Physician Assistant, Registered Dietician, and

other licensed professionals.
