![]() ![]() He mentions that iterated maps can produce fractals that look very much like realistic mountains, leaves, ferns, etc., and implies that the failure of 18th/19th-century dreams of predictability has something to do with the failure to use these realistic, fractal models of objects in physics calculations. ![]() ![]() When Stoppard tries to write about chaos theory, he fails to mention the central concept - sensitive dependence on initial conditions (the famous "butterfly effect") and its appearance even in simple systems - and instead only tells the audience that chaos has something to do with iterated maps. It feels as though Stoppard read James Gleick's Chaos (or a similar popular text), misunderstood it, forgot half of it, and then wrote the play on this basis of what remained. But I just couldn't get past the snide, obnoxious characters, and the facile, frequently inaccurate treatment of science and math, which panders to the "science is just the product of fallible human impulses and, like, we don't really know anything for sure anyway, man" attitude that has become the norm among intellectuals and wannabe intellectuals who, for one reason or another, aren't interested in science.Īs a presentation of math and science to a lay audience, the play is a failure.

The book takes its structure from Morrie's "class" syllabus – each week/chapter is a lecture in Morrie’s class on death – and focuses not just on what is taught but on the teacher/student relationship developing between the two men. The entirety of the text, then, is centered around the idea of teaching and learning. At various times throughout the book, Mitch describes the book he's written as a "long paper" or a final thesis, written for the final “class” – a class containing only Mitch – that his dying college professor, Morrie, will teach. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.
