具体描述

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?

读后感

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，...

幸存者效应基金收益率的经常不把当时消亡的基金统计进去。共同基金不会一直存在，有的会蓬勃发展，有的则走向消亡。总体来说，消亡的都是不赚钱的基金。因此，根据10年后仍然存在的共同基金判断10年间共同基金的价值，这样的做法就如同通过计算成功返航飞机上的弹孔数来判断飞...

“Maybe individual people seem irrational because they aren’t really individuals. Each one of us is a little nation-state, doing our best to settle disputes and broker compromises between the squabbling voices that drive us.”

Inspiring, insightful, humorous, from a real mathematician. What more can you ask for?
