I recently finished the first draft of the last of my books based on my 2011 blog posts (and also my Google buzzes and Google+ posts from that year), entitled “Spending symmetry“. The PDF of this draft is available here. This is again a rather assorted (and lightly edited) collection of posts (and buzzes, and Google+ posts), though concentrating in the areas of analysis (both standard and nonstandard), logic, and geometry. As always, comments and corrections are welcome.

Page 95, line 3 : “similar, actually, to the approach taken in I took to the nullstellensatz in” should be rewritten.
[Thanks, this will be done in the next revision of the ms - T.]

May I suggest using hyperlinks for url’s in the pdf file?
[Good suggestion; this will be done in the next revision of the ms - T.]

Looks nice. The first chapter “argument from ignorance” describes some inferences that I think are called “abductive reasoning“; there is a good Wikipedia article with that title. I tried to hyperlink it but I don’t know if that will work.

Page 47 Line 10 , “thus

Loving re-reading the long blue-eyed islanders post! Possible typo: Is there a minus sign missing on
, around “…From the perspective
, it is possible that one is in the world 
, in which 
does not
of
have blue eyes…” ?
