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.

讀瞭一半不想讀瞭
評分多好的一本給大傢科普數學的書,起這麼個雞湯名。看到有人的評論,“數學部分還是沒有耐心去看,但是裏麵講到的思維在生活中非常受用。” 忽然又明白為什麼要起這樣的名字瞭。proof纔是最好看的部分好嗎!媽的沒有耐心你看什麼數學書!
評分cant even finish it... too general and too common sense
評分雖然上學時一直數學苦手,但這本書必須五星推薦 - Mathematics is common sense by other means!
評分李剋忠思想法,看著玩玩還行。有些插科打諢,比如說George是真·cutest Beatle,還是很好玩的。
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...
評分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...
評分走出校园多年,就连当年的学霸都要感叹一句:“数学?恐怕只会加减乘除了。”确实,似乎真的没有什么工作会要求数学考级的,除非是与这个领域相关的专研小组吧。 如果你想用一道题难倒你的数学老师,你就问他:“现在学的这些知识到底什么时候能用上呢?”这...
