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

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...

英文名叫how not to be wrong。书都是围绕这个写的，非常切题。但是中文名是什么鬼，受了魔鬼经济学的影响么，完全不知所云。也是中了某推荐的招，kindle上买的，还好几乎没有什么数学公式，否则kindle看太累。讲的内容比较浅，基本完全在本科高等数学的水平内，理念的话中学...

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...

《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...
