Physics

[close] Jared's Book Club

[close] A place to discuss cool math/physics/computer science/ other non-fiction, sciencey books and anything else relevant/interesting. Eventually, it would be nice to read books together, particularly if there is problem solving involved - if people join and are interested in that, we can do that. For LaTeX in your posts use this extension. Test: [;-1 = e^{i\pi};]

[close] (see title) Planning to read one book a month until we decide that's too much or too little. -We'll begin reading each new book on the first of the month. Be ready to discuss by the last week of the month. -Books will be chosen on a rotating basis between moderators. Moderator is responsible for providing questions and topics for group discussion, condensing all discussion into a digest-version "Bookclub Review" of the book in question, compiling quotations from the book that speak to its purpose and gravity, and following up with a group-specific rating out of five stars. Moderator will also be responsible for leading a "follow-up" thread after each book to determine good and bad aspects of each book so future book choices can be influenced by the group's preferences. -Non-choosing members are responsible for responding to questions, posting a thoughtful response, generally participating in discussion and questions, and (obviously) reading the book. Let it be known that if you become an inactive piece of dead-weight shit, you will be booted from our awesome group, never to return again..... unless you ask real nice.
