具體描述
“A dizzying, dazzling debut.” —Nature
“A welcome addition to the math-for-people-who-hate-math genre...All but the stubbornly innumerate will enjoy this amusing mathematical miscellany.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Kit Yates is a brilliant explainer and storyteller. Perhaps most charming of all, his stories are a bit like Sherlock Holmes tales: mysteries whose solutions seem surprising and then elementary, once the clever reasoning behind them is revealed. I loved this book and learned something on every page.”
—Steven Strogatz, professor of mathematics, Cornell University, and author of Infinite Powers and The Joy of X
“Kit Yates shows how our private and social lives are suffused by mathematics. Ignorance may bring tragedy or farce. This is an exquisitely interesting book. It’s a deeply serious one too and, for those like me who have little math, it’s delightfully readable.”
—Ian McEwan, author of Atonement
“Kit Yates is a natural storyteller. Through fascinating stories and examples, he shows how math is the beating heart of so much of modern life. An exciting new voice in the world of science communication.”
—Marcus du Sautoy, author of The Music of the Primes
“Used wisely, mathematics can save your life. Used unwisely, it can ruin it. A lucid and enthralling account of why math matters in everyone’s life. A real eye-opener.”
—Ian Stewart, author of In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World

##算這領域的入門書，但值得一翻
評分##算這領域的入門書，但值得一翻
評分科普讀本中寫得挺不錯的作品，可以給7顆星。大部分討論的例子對於學過本科階段概率論的小朋友來說應該都不陌生。最後一章關於數學在流行病學、公共衛生中的應用其實寫得不錯，但是這本書齣版於2020初，所以略過瞭在這次冠病疫情中展現齣的數學模型的局限性。希望再版的時候可以增加這一部分
評分##淺顯易懂, 也有意義的科普書.
