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?
Jordan Ellenberg is a professor of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard and an MFA in creative writing from Johns Hopkins. His areas of research specialization are number theory and algebraic geometry. He has written articles on mathematical topics in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Wired, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and the Believer, and is a regular columnist for Slate.

作者把数学根据simple-complicated VS shallow-profound分成四部分,旨在讲述profound and simple的部分,燃鹅私以为失败了。数学那么广大,统计概率部分确实是如书中所说是人们比较有intuition的部分,所以也比较晚加入正式的数学体系,也自然成了此书为了让数学贴近生活的重点,应用统计的话不如看chance rule。感觉这本四不像。不过能感到作者对数学的满腔热忱,想感染大众,心领了????
评分东拉西扯的数学科普书,不难的东西,扯来扯去,写的比直接用数学公式硬核推进还难理解。要浅显的介绍还得看看日本的大师来。
评分math theory for dummies,但我真的不喜欢math。

评分虽然上学时一直数学苦手,但这本书必须五星推荐 - Mathematics is common sense by other means!
1.用数学方法解决日常问题。 2.媒体上,可以看到所谓的专家使用“线性回归分析法”判断社会问题。比如,以色列某地发生灾害伤亡比例多少,换算到中国相当于多少万人死亡,以此恐吓群众。 3.但其实这是不对的,很多问题不是线性的,还有很多因素影响其中。比如比较残忍程度,就...
评分听说这是比尔盖茨最喜欢的十本书之一,我才找来读。读了前两章,还有点鄙视盖茨,这么简单的数学概念,有啥值得推荐的?但是读到后面不得了,越来越引人入胜,有点放不下的感觉。 重点推荐第二、第三、第四部分。第一部分略浅显;而第五部分,尤其最后一章,感觉太拔高数学了,...
评分清明节假期,别人上坟,我上班。值班这么闹心的事情我居然带了一本数学书来消遣,简直是太高估自己的智商了。这是近年来看的唯一一本数学读物,开头还看得挺入戏,才到一半脑子就不够使了,看到后半段简直想撕书。此书跟《逻辑的迷宫》完全是一个路子,让人看到许多社会问题是...
评分走出校园多年,就连当年的学霸都要感叹一句:“数学?恐怕只会加减乘除了。”确实,似乎真的没有什么工作会要求数学考级的,除非是与这个领域相关的专研小组吧。 如果你想用一道题难倒你的数学老师,你就问他:“现在学的这些知识到底什么时候能用上呢?”这...
