When I see or read stories like this my thought is usually that the publishers themselves are idiots and didn't get it initially, so assume that everyone else must not get it too. Cuz if you think about it, what kind of person even remotely interested in reading a book about math *wouldn't* get it, and what kind of person who wouldn't get it would be remotely interested in reading a book about math?

Matt should power up that bit, hook it up to the internet and allow people to flip it. He knows his way around a Raspberry Pi so that shouldn't be a problem. And then a year later a video about how many people set it to 0, how many set it to 1, all the correlations with where people live, what time of day they did it etc. Should be fascinating.

I gave Matt's book Humble Pi to my father for Christmas. I thought he'd really appreciate the book since his career was as a university professor in research methods. As is his standard, he called me one day to say he has a book I might be interested in reading, having forgotten that I had given it to him in the first place. At least I know he liked it enough to recommend it.

She refused to understand that the fingerprints were intentional.

I laughed when you told us about the reason for the cover change. But then I thought, the assumption that a US audience wouldn't understand the joke was made by the publisher based on a prejudice. And this change and even the story propagate the "American's won't get it" prejudice.... Separately, this was great, you guys should do a podcast together!

@neruneri 3 года назад

I think that page number thing is only moderately subtle to begin with, it feels kind of condescending to add that disclaimer. Surely if you notice that the page numbers are going the wrong way, you don't need a disclaimer to figure out that it's intentional in a book about maths gone wrong? I'm now curious if the Americans "need" that disclaimer, or if there's an unstated subconscious snobbery that makes non-Americans assume the Americans need it.
