In our latest book club meeting we discussed: Algorithms to Live By! The Computer Science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths. This book explains how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems. It starts with the concept of Optimal Stopping, which explains the best time frame for taking a particular action, such as finding an apartment. It continues to deal with overwhelming choices and when leaving things to chance could be the best option. Everyone shared their opinions with each other while enjoying delicious pancakes, omelets and coffee.
If you would like to participate in the next read, please e-mail sandy.rolon.f@gmail.com or just join us on good reads: Dallas Society of Women Engineers Bookclub
Our next book is: Improvisation for the Spirit by Katie Goodman.
This is an interactive book and we decided to split it.
Dallas SWE has a limited number of copies available if you do not already have the book. Please contact Sandy or dallas.swe@gmail.com for more information.
We will meet on March 31st at 11 AM at the Coffee House Café at 6150 Frankford Road in Dallas and talk about the first 120 pages. We will finish talking about the second half of the book in our April meeting.
The book club is a wonderful way to meet new people! You can share your ideas and thoughts on a variety of new books and get a different perspective, not only for the reads but also for life, through conversations with other SWE members.
We look forward to seeing you there!
