This book is so fucking cool. Any mathematicians read this? What do you guys think of it?

I read it for a few pages, like 40. Was nice. A bit too basic if you know logic.

Should have read for the bio of Bach. (I expect there's some biography in this at least)

Yeah, probably. I've never studied it before, though, so I'm really enjoying it.
It's the size of a textbook, but it's super well written and not dry in the slightest.

read it in high school
it's a good book for redditors to have a big circle jerk about how smart they are
still not a bad read for starters

go back
and no I don't read cringe NT bullshit.
only low IQ engineer like that book.
if you wanted to learn about godel's incompleteness theorems you could have just accessed them, they're widely available.
it's not rigorous at all and for pseud faggots.

It's a fun "pop math" book that's a good way for undergrads to get interested in the subject. Just don't forget that doing anything serious will still take actual work.
