If you want to study some worth while chessbooks, I can give you a few interesting titles, including some German ones and even a French one. Now that would be a nice way of practising these languages! Reading a chessbook in a foreign language isn't that hard because the same words (chessterms) keep coming back and when you get to know these words then after a few pages you'll hardly ever have to use a dictionary.

But of course there are loads of interesting books in the English language ...

i agree that Ramanujan was a pretty awesome mathematician, but on what grounds do you claim him as a freethinker? (i assume your adoption of his image for your avatar is tantamount to such a claim). perhaps he had very dogmatic, narrow minded views about lots of things. i don't know. but perhaps he did. maybe you should check into it when you locate that biography you're looking forπ
Besides, someone called him "an ardent philosopher" and said that "all religions were the same to him".
Originally posted by royalchickenfair enough, but i found the functional equation of the zeta function without any (much) knowledge of complex numbers myself - can you believe it was behind the couch (sofa) the whole time?

But the one you're showing now is even better.
As I see it, the avatar shows us that all religions
and secular convictions deserve a place under the sun.
Except those who do not want others to have a place under the sun.
You did not show for instance the swastika, the symbol of nazis
and neo-nazis and how right you are about that !

I found it by doing a search for "Buddha Christ."
No, I wouldn't bother to read these pages... someone took an awful lot of time to make them... but I am happy with how I feel about the universe and what is to come after.
