Some very cool ideas in here. Currently taking some time to understand some of the stat-mech analogs of thermodynamic entropy, and why they're considered legit analogs.

Beyond Chance and Credence: A Theory of Hybrid Probabilities

I've learned a lot (especially about the history of elliptic functions) from this book so far.

Mark Moon is on page 53 of 432 of The Physics of Waves
I like this book a lot so far. Very suitable for an introduction to physics for someone comfortable with calculus. Looking forward to teaching from it once I'm done reading it and working through most of the exercises.

Mark Moon is 50% done with The Logic in Philosophy of Science
This book is taking me a very long time to read. I'm finding it extremely challenging, but quite rewarding.

This is becoming my new favorite introductory linear algebra book to teach from (for a first course).

I finished Part 1! Looking forward to Part 2, which I expect to be even more interesting.

Mark Moon is on page 274 of 428 of An Introduction to Manifolds (Universitext)
I'm on the chapter about de Rham cohomology, which is slow going because I'm still finding (co)homological arguments challenging.

A diverse offering of good stuff, so far!

Mark Moon is on page 63 of 528 of Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Computer Science Applications
I'm using this to learn Python, and then I plan to use it to teach linear algebra (probably to people who already know a little bit of Python, or want to learn some). I've been doing all of the programming exercises. It seems very promising as a linear algebra textbook.

Still making steady progress through this in my book club.

Mark Moon is on page 80 of 279 of Philosophy and the Foundations of Dynamics
I'm using this as a supplementary resource in a classical mechanics course I'm teaching. My student is enjoying these historical and philosophical perspectives on the physics we're studying, so far.

Philosophy and the Foundations of Dynamics

Mark Moon is on page 51 of 444 of The Symmetries of Things
I'm developing a curriculum on recognizing the 17 wallpaper patterns, based on the first 3 chapters of this book. I think the book could have been much more pedagogical on this front, but I think the authors were (quite reasonably) more focused on other, more advanced material, that's later in the book.
