The Pulse: Caught in the Crosshatch—A Cautionary Tale of Detective Work
04/29/2026 | Martyn Gaudion -- Column: The PulseA chance meeting at a family wedding the other week led to a conversation about numbers, an introduction to a book entitled Humble Pi, and how numeric misinterpretation can lead to all kinds of unexpected outcomes, some just costly, others tragic.

One of the takeaways of the book is that humans are born to think logarithmically, and linear math has to be formally educated into our brains. That got me curious for more.
