Everyone: omg Einstein is the smartest
Einstein: omg Gödel is the smartest

[q.e.d.]

Good to see “How to lie with Statistics” is still there. I loaned my copy to a fellow student, about 1962, and never saw it again. Should be compulsory reading for all age 16+ students.

5:50 "It talks about what Euler did, which is... basically everything"

I would recommend for anyone who is interested in engineering: Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed by Ben Rich. It is about building the u2 A12/sr71 and the f117. All three are revolutionary planes build by a relatively small group of engineers

I’m doing my PhD in Math and I have never read any of these books although they are on subjects that I’m really interested in. Thank you for this video :)

9:20 I really liked your video about how easy it is to lie with statistics - it gave me a new perspective on the topic. Might look into this book

[RCSmiths]

I'm a simple man, I see STEM, I click.

In Dutch high school, we have these two tracks for math, one for STEM and one for statistics

Zach the leading string theorist in my uni has a bachelor's in EE

It's really nice of you to make a whole video for recommended appreciate it!!

[vincentdavis]

I also like to invest in sectors rather than specific companies... Maybe it's a STEM thing. Thanks for the recommends Mr. Star. I built a business that died three years later and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do next. There's so much you can do for money, getting focused seems to be the hard part, at least for me.

I have just recently started reading and I was checking out your old vids for book recommendations. Glad you posted this!

Zack, I like your obvious enthusiasm for math and mathematical ideas, both new and old. Something I have been exploring recently is base twelve geometry, something that seems completely off the radar for most people. There is a type of dodecagon that exists on the base twelve coordinate plane that no one is aware of because we all use base ten. I find it interesting that if we all used base twelve we would be aware of this shape. It has a relationship with the circle that opens up new avenues of exploration. I made a video about it called Base Twelve Pi. Someone in our past knew about it because the geometry is hidden within the design of our numerals as well. Lots of interesting stuff. Now I just need to inspire people to check it out in order to get some feedback.

Zach: "So people are dumb, right?"
Me: "hehe earth in the background go brrr".

I am following you. I have been wanting to get into stem. Finally my desire and the opportunity synchronized here on you as the beginning of my journey. Thanks for he library list.

[adastrizzy]

I was just looking for STEM books! Thanks

[fernandovaldez]

I read Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku! It was one of the books that introduced me more to Nanotechnology and Quantum Computing.

[crazyfly]

I was totally disinterested when you got to the business books (just math for me) but I had to stay to the end because your passion for books held my attention. I appreciate you, thanks.

[naderbazyari]

Thanks a million... you may not realize it but your insights are most valuable to some of us who are struggling to manage time to read the best stuff thats out there
