That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey there, folks. Perhaps you've heard about Socrates in the city. I recommend it. Socrates

in the city.com. I usually interview interview really extraordinary people. We have these wonderful

conversations. But just before I shifted to the interview format, I had David Berlinski as my guest,

and he spoke. I only got to introduce him, but I have been longing to talk to him ever since then, and here he is for us today.

David Berlinski, welcome to the program.

Thank you so much.

You've written many books.

Did you write a book with the title, A Tour of the Calculus?

Yes, I did.

Shame on you.

Okay.

It's just so funny to me.

I have to crack jokes.

It's not funny to anyone else, so we'll just edit that out.

But you are a mathematician.

I've written a lot about mathematics.

Not many people can say that, David Berlinski.

So I want to help my audience who isn't familiar with you because I don't want to just read your biography.
