The Freakonomics of math—a math-world superstar unveils the hidden beauty and logic of the world and puts its power in our hands

The math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us how terribly limiting this view is: Math isn’t confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do—the whole world is shot through with it.

Math allows us to see the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It’s a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to the true meaning of information we take for granted: How early should you get to the airport? What does “public opinion” really represent? Why do tall parents have shorter children? Who really won Florida in 2000? And how likely are you, really, to develop cancer?

《魔鬼数学》里有一道很难的数学题，论一根缝衣针掉落在地板上，与地板缝相交的概率是多少？缝衣针的长度正好等于地板缝的宽度。原问题的提出者叫布封（Georges-Louis LeClerc, Comte de Buffon)，这个问题也被史称为**布封的面条问题**，使用高阶方式解决的家伙叫约瑟夫-埃米...
