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.

还算不错的数学小书,不过应该是我数学不好的缘故
评分Existence那章看到起鸡皮疙瘩
评分作者把数学根据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。
评分一本图书馆借的书,读完以后主动去买了自己收藏的统计学科普图书。
这本书应该是一本关于数学的书。但是书名的翻译让人有些摸不着头脑,how not to be wrong,怎么就叫“魔鬼数学”了呢。 同样在序言和前面几个章节中写了很多真正吸引人和有价值的内容。关于线性和非线性,一次方程,二次方程,几何,微积分,概率论,期望值等数学方面的介绍都...

评分 评分二战期间,数学家亚伯拉罕·瓦尔德所在的研究小组为美军军方提供飞机装甲的优化方案。瓦尔德没有多少空战知识,唯一的依据仅仅是与敌军交火后返航飞机上的弹孔。他给出的答案超出军方的预想:装甲最多的不应是弹孔最多的机身部位,而是弹孔相对较少的引擎部位。这不难理解,引...
