ursula: Gules, a bear passant sable (bear)
[personal profile] ursula
One of the more amusing things about a mathematics graduate program is that when they start listing the applications of a branch of mathematics, most of the applications are other kinds of mathematics. And one of the others is string theory.


[livejournal.com profile] rabican has a list of books:

Neil Gaiman
Roald Dahl
Guy Gavriel Kay
C.S. Forester
Dewey Lambdin
Connie Willis
Christopher Stasheff
Susan Cooper
Mary Renault
David Brin
