A journey through some of mathematics' prickliest conundrums - and why they matter

Stewart I: Reaching for the Extreme

Reaching for the Extreme

How the Quest for the Biggest, Fewest and Weirdest Makes Maths

Social Network Mechanisms

Strong Bridges is a book about a contradiction and the opportunity it offers. For decades, social network theory has drawn its maps of advantage from the idea that brokers sit astride structural holes, reaping value from weak ties that bridge disconnected worlds. But what if some of those bridges are not weak? What if the real advantage lies not just in structure, but in trust forged in interpersonal history regardless of structure? 

This is the puzzle Strong Bridges takes up. It begins with guanxi, the colloquial Chinese term for relationship advantage, often dismissed as cultural peculiarity or corruption. But the authors treat guanxi as a strategic research site, not a cultural relic. They view it a niche-word pointing to a broader category of human experience. Combining analytic rigor with quality network data, they pull apart the Siamese twins of tie strength and network structure, documenting the prevalence and competitive value of high-trust ties that span structural holes, i.e., strong bridges. 

The book offers two discovery stories; one empirical, one theoretical. The first tracks how guanxi bridges operate in the personal networks of Chinese entrepreneurs. The second reshapes core assumptions in network theory. Across industries, events, and even a pandemic, strong bridges emerge as resilient assets distinct from embedded ties, more predictive of cooperation, and more durable than theory currently expects. 

This is a book about the anatomy of network advantage. It reframes brokerage not as a fragile position, but as a relationship earned, remembered, and surprisingly strong.

Reactive PublishingIn the high-stakes world of quantitative trading, rationality isn't always the winning strategy. Strategic Irrationality reveals how mastering the predictable quirks of human (and algorithmic) behavior can deliver a decisive edge in volatile markets.Blending cutting-edge game theory with behavioral finance, Stephen Oakfield equips quantitative traders with powerful frameworks to anticipate, exploit, and profit from irrational decisions, whether they stem from cognitive biases, herd behavior, emotional overreactions, or mispriced risk perceptions. This book moves beyond traditional efficient-market assumptions to show how strategic deviations from pure rationality can generate alpha in options pricing, high-frequency trading, portfolio construction, and competitive market-making.What You'll Discover: <ul><li>Advanced applications of game-theoretic models (including Bayesian games, repeated games, and evolutionary strategies) tailored to real-world trading environments.</li><li>Behavioral finance tools that decode market anomalies, liquidity cascades, and sentiment-driven volatility.</li><li>Practical quantitative strategies for exploiting overconfidence, loss aversion, anchoring, and other systematic biases.</li><li>Risk management techniques that incorporate "irrational" scenarios often ignored by conventional models.</li><li>Case studies from flash crashes, meme-stock frenzies, and institutional battles where strategic irrationality determined winners and losers.</li></ul>Written for quants, algorithmic traders, hedge fund professionals, and serious retail traders with a technical background, Strategic Irrationality bridges the gap between academic theory and profitable execution. In markets where everyone else is playing "rational," the real advantage belongs to those who understand when, and how, to play irrational better. This is the playbook for the next generation of quantitative edge.

The Prince of Stars

Big Think's Best Science Book of 2024 A theoretical physicist takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey to discover how the universe generates everything from nothing at all. "If you want to know what's really going on in the realms of relativity and particle physics, read this book" —Sean Carroll, bestselling author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe In Waves in an Impossible Sea, physicist Matt Strassler tells a startling tale of elementary particles, human experience, and empty space. He begins with a simple mystery of motion—our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second, and yet we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil?&nbsp; &nbsp; The reason, Strassler reveals, is that empty space is a sea, albeit a paradoxical one. Much like water and air, it ripples in various ways, and we ourselves, made from its ripples, can move through space as effortlessly as waves crossing an ocean. Deftly weaving together daily experience and fundamental physics—the musical universe, the enigmatic quantum, cosmic fields, and the Higgs boson—Strassler shows us how all things, familiar and unfamiliar, emerge from what seems like nothing at all.&nbsp; &nbsp; Accessible and profound, Waves in an Impossible Sea is the ultimate guide to our place in the universe.&nbsp;

39 Ways to Save the Planet

Burnout rising. Systems cracking. Talent leaving. The solution: design for human dignity and full-person diversity—with this award-winning guide. The Canary Code reorganizes work for thriving—starting with those first impacted by faulty systems, like canaries first sensing toxic air in coal mines. Neurodivergent talent (members of ADHD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning-differences communities, and others who think and experience life differently) offer unique skills and exceptional work ethics, yet face employment barriers. Their unique abilities and perspectives are excluded, and their canary warnings about bullying, broken workflows, or ethical drift are ignored. This practical guide helps CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and changemakers improve work for all. Drawing on science and lived experience, 2025 Thinkers50 Talent Award winner and internationally renowned management expert Ludmila Praslova shows how embracing neurodiversity creates healthier, more innovative systems. A neurodivergent organizational psychologist with over twenty-five years of global practice and research on inclusive organizations, she offers the following: <ul><li>A holistic framework of human differences (social, cognitive, emotional, physical)</li><li>An intersectional, whole-person approach to neuroinclusion</li><li>Dignity-based talent practices, from hiring to leadership development</li><li>Global perspectives celebrating diverse neurodivergent voices</li><li>Actionable strategies for change at any organizational level</li></ul> Blending lived experience, academic rigor, and accessible writing, this groundbreaking work exemplifies neuroinclusion. It clearly indicates academic, applied, and personal content, supporting an individualized reader experience.

A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work

The Canary Code

An energetic and impassioned work of popular science about scientists who have had to fight for their revolutionary ideas to be accepted-from Darwin to Pasteur to modern day Nobel Prize winners. For two decades, Matt Kaplan has covered science for the Economist. He's seen breakthroughs often occur in spite of, rather than because of, the behavior of the research community, and how support can be withheld for those who don't conform or have the right connections. In this passionately argued and entertaining book, Kaplan narrates the history of the 19th century Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis, who realized that Childbed fever-a devastating infection that only struck women who had recently given birth-was spread by doctors not washing their hands. Semmelweis was met with overwhelming hostility by those offended at the notion that doctors were at fault, and is a prime example of how the scientific community often fights new ideas, even when the facts are staring them in the face. In vibrant prose, Kaplan reveals scientific cases past and present to make his point. Some are familiar, like Galileo being threatened with torture and Nobel laureate Katalin Karikó being fired when on the brink of discovering how to wield mRNA-a finding that proved pivotal for the creation of the Covid-19 vaccine. Others less so, like researchers silenced for raising safety concerns about new drugs, and biologists ridiculed for revealing major flaws in the way rodent research is conducted. Kaplan shows how the scientific community can work faster and better by making reasonably small changes to the forces that shape it.

This book draws on the author's experiences during her 5-year journey towards tenure at a top-tier university in Singapore to offer an internationally relevant, STEM-oriented perspective with reflections, insights, and practical tips for building an academic career in STEM fields.Often, little is really known about what it means to be a university professor until one is actually in the role and much learning is done 'on the job'. This book collates and updates blog posts that the author has written throughout her career to explain the multiple roles of an assistant professor at a top research university. It chronicles the day-to-day challenges, pressures, and rewards of academic life. It is organized thematically and covers topics such as what an assistant professor actually does, how to foster an innovative research group, how to achieve target research outcomes and stand out from the crowd, how to create and manage a diverse research group, and how to achieve a sustainable work-life balance. It provides both practical advice and personal reflection, enabling readers to better understand the job requirements and prepare for success within this challenging and competitive environment.This work provides a vital insider's perspective to early-career academics, including postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors, as well as graduate students aspiring to academic careers. It also contains valuable information for university administrators, educational policymakers, and anyone responsible for career development programs and academic mentoring initiatives in universities.

The CAR-1000 Scale

Human civilization now has a universal rating system. In The CAR-1000 Scale, James Edmund Carpenter II delivers the first complete execution of a 1,000-point framework designed to answer one question with rigor: How advanced is human civilization, considered as a whole? Drawing on the locked architecture established in Book 12, this volume measures all eleven categories-Energy Harnessing, Information &amp; Intelligence, Societal &amp; Governance, Matter &amp; Precision, Biological &amp; Life Systems, Systemic Health, Wisdom &amp; Ethics, Expansion &amp; Astro-Engineering, Conflict &amp; Security, Foresight &amp; Longevity, and Complexity Burden-across 114 micro-categories. The result is a single, transparent Main Scale score of 446.72, accompanied by full category breakdowns, sub-index values, Galántai resilience classification, threshold analysis, historical comparisons to six past civilizations, and scenario projections to 2050. The findings are unambiguous. Human civilization sits below the collapse threshold. Wisdom &amp; Ethics is the binding constraint and the highest-leverage domain for improvement. The harmonic mean aggregation ensures that imbalance cannot be masked by strength elsewhere. Sensitivity analysis identifies the Civilizational Moral Orientation Index as the single most powerful micro-category in the entire system. This edition includes the complete static measurement with full provenance and honest documentation of limitations. It is accompanied by the live CAR-1000 dashboard, which integrates continuous AI verification and real-time rescoring-directly addressing temporal lag while preserving methodological rigor. Released into the public domain, the CAR-1000 system, scoring engine, and all methodology are freely available for use, modification, and extension. This is not a ranking of nations or a happiness index. It is a civilization-scale instrument for those who believe that accurate measurement is the prerequisite for deliberate improvement.

A Universal System for Rating Civilizations

A novel framework for how entrepreneurs can use Bayesian reasoning to make decisions. This edited volume introduces and explores the concept of Bayesian entrepreneurship, a novel framework for understanding entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty. It brings together contributions from leading scholars to examine how entrepreneurs form beliefs about opportunities, learn through experimentation, and make strategic decisions. The Bayesian approach emphasizes the critical interaction between an entrepreneur’s prior beliefs and their capacity for learning and experimentation to update those beliefs. This dynamic process allows entrepreneurs to formulate and test theories about value creation and capture, attract resources and capabilities, and implement effective entrepreneurial strategies. The volume is organized around four key themes: <ul><li>the foundations and distinguishing features of Bayesian entrepreneurship </li><li>how entrepreneurs form and update prior beliefs in entrepreneurial decision-making</li><li>the role of experimentation and learning in entrepreneurial strategy</li><li>applications to entrepreneurship education and practice</li></ul> Bayesian Entrepreneurship offers both theoretical contributions advancing our understanding of entrepreneurial decision-making and practical insights for entrepreneurs and educators.
