具體描述

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?

著者簡介

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.

讀後感

評分☆☆☆☆☆

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，...

如果你是一个有“数学焦虑症”的人，你可能不会相信有一天你会爱上数学。这本书讲得数学知识点都是中学通识难度，它的厉害之处是与社会实践结合的讲法和以培养数学思维模式的目的，学完之后可以明白数学的魅力。原因在于，我们在学校所学的数学知识看上去不过是一堆沉闷的规...

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...

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...

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

“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.”

東拉西扯的數學科普書，不難的東西，扯來扯去，寫的比直接用數學公式硬核推進還難理解。要淺顯的介紹還得看看日本的大師來。

能把數學尤其是統計學講得這麼生動也是不易，這是一本可以當故事書看的數學書。
