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?

##Existence那章看到起雞皮疙瘩

評分☆☆☆☆☆

##作者把數學根據simple-complicated VS shallow-profound分成四部分，旨在講述profound and simple的部分，燃鵝私以為失敗瞭。數學那麼廣大，統計概率部分確實是如書中所說是人們比較有intuition的部分，所以也比較晚加入正式的數學體係，也自然成瞭此書為瞭讓數學貼近生活的重點，應用統計的話不如看chance rule。感覺這本四不像。不過能感到作者對數學的滿腔熱忱，想感染大眾，心領瞭😂

##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！

##“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.”

##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。

##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。
