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.

1.用数学方法解决日常问题。 2.媒体上,可以看到所谓的专家使用“线性回归分析法”判断社会问题。比如,以色列某地发生灾害伤亡比例多少,换算到中国相当于多少万人死亡,以此恐吓群众。 3.但其实这是不对的,很多问题不是线性的,还有很多因素影响其中。比如比较残忍程度,就...
評分如果你是一个有“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...
