Ah, I'd forgotten that - my copy is in storage :-( Yes, loved that one too. He's always interesting.

Rota is -- by far -- my favorite mathematician

the first chapter of this book cambridge.org/us/academic/su… is among the clearest mathematics I've ever read.

I remember Kemeny also reminiscing about how you couldn't really ask him questions in class because he'd basically have to go all the way back to the start. He did point out the misfortune of asking Church to teach some intro course (calculus?), noting this was not an…ideal fit.

A professor at my university who taught logic lectured in the same way (copying the paragraphs from his hand written notes to the blackboard word-for-word). He was one of the best professors I've had.

As a former professor I agree lectures can offer much beyond what's in textbooks, but feel this is worst possible example

"pauses, hesitations, emphases [...] taught us a lot more logic"
