With regard to math (my favorite subject) here is a paper on geometric algebra (another favorite subject ) titled, "Imaginary Numbers are not Real"

My favorite mathematician is Emmy Noether. If she had lived a few more years she would have won the Nobel Prize in physics for Noether's theorem -

All math students should know about her.

I am going to check that out! Bridge failure over decades is so well known. This will be a fun read. Thanks.

Each Petroski book is a gem, really. But this one is, I think, most relevant to this post. BUT, check out The Pencil next.
