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

《魔鬼数学》里有一段话，是业内的实操。 - 事实上，信奉贝叶斯定理的统计学家通常对显著性检验不屑一顾，他们对“该新药是否有疗效”之类的问题不感兴趣，他们更关注如何建立一个预测模型，以便更准确地判断该药物的不同剂量在针对不同人群时可以取得什么样的疗效。即使真的用...

《魔鬼数学》：美丽又神秘的随机性，以素数为例，告诉你，数轴上素数的分布尽管是无限的，但也是有规律的。广义上说，任何数被素数除后的余数是随机的，但素数本身看起来出现的规律目前并没有解答出。张益唐将孪生素数之间的距离缩小到7000万以内，现在最新的进展是彼此间不大...

数学这门学科似乎被误解很深，在大多数人眼里，数学是枯燥乏味的计算，是艰深复杂的公式和符号，是数学奥林匹克竞赛。但是另一方面，数学家试图告诉你“数学好玩”，数学可以深入到日常生活中的应用当中去。美国威斯康辛大学数学教授乔丹·艾伦伯格在《How Not to be Wrong》...

“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.”
