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?

評分##雖然我對書中提到的大部分概念並不陌生，但仍然學到不少東西。作者把很多看似毫不相乾的概念或現象巧妙地聯係到一起，展現齣數學的美妙和無所不在。
評分走齣校園多年，就連當年的學霸都要感嘆一句：“數學？恐怕隻會加減乘除瞭。”確實，似乎真的沒有什麼工作會要求數學考級的，除非是與這個領域相關的專研小組吧。 如果你想用一道題難倒你的數學老師，你就問他：“現在學的這些知識到底什麼時候能用上呢？”這...
