具体描述

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?

作者简介

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.

读后感

英文名叫how not to be wrong。书都是围绕这个写的，非常切题。但是中文名是什么鬼，受了魔鬼经济学的影响么，完全不知所云。也是中了某推荐的招，kindle上买的，还好几乎没有什么数学公式，否则kindle看太累。讲的内容比较浅，基本完全在本科高等数学的水平内，理念的话中学...

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...

多好的一本给大家科普数学的书，起这么个鸡汤名。看到有人的评论，“数学部分还是没有耐心去看，但是里面讲到的思维在生活中非常受用。” 忽然又明白为什么要起这样的名字了。proof才是最好看的部分好吗！妈的没有耐心你看什么数学书！

作者Ellenbery开始将数学由简单到复杂，解决问题由简单到复杂分成四象限，该书着重讲述简单数学解决复杂问题这个象限。内容从古希腊人无理数的发现，圆周率的计算，概率统计与投资，与彩票设计，几何结构与通信编码，Fisher的假设检验与Neumann的回归分析的争论，Shannon的通信原理，投票选举中的Condorcet 悖论，Condor的提出以数学定量分析的社会科学推动社会前进。整个书涉猎数学范围很广并且与当今社会的空间通信编码，经济，金融投资，社会发展紧密联系，非常好。
