Women in STEM Bookclub: Our Mathematical Universe

Please reach out to the organizers after sign-up if you have trouble getting a copy of the book.

This book club is for women in STEM to explore workplace related themes that are centered on women, STEM, philosophy and leadership. Through these book explorations we share experiences, exchange new ideas, and empower each other through friendly conversation and community.

Our Mathematical Universe by Max Tegmark

Our Mathematical Universe is a journey to explore the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and to discover the nature of reality. Our Big Bang, our distant future, parallel worlds, the sub-atomic and intergalactic - none of them are what they seem. But there is a way to understand this immense strangeness - mathematics. Seeking an answer to the fundamental puzzle of why our universe seems so mathematical, Tegmark proposes a radical idea: that our physical world not only is described by mathematics, but that it is mathematics. This may offer answers to our deepest questions: How large is reality? What is everything made of? Why is our universe the way it is? (source)
