评分“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.”
评分cant even finish it... too general and too common sense
评分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!

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?

评分 评分清明节假期,别人上坟,我上班。值班这么闹心的事情我居然带了一本数学书来消遣,简直是太高估自己的智商了。这是近年来看的唯一一本数学读物,开头还看得挺入戏,才到一半脑子就不够使了,看到后半段简直想撕书。此书跟《逻辑的迷宫》完全是一个路子,让人看到许多社会问题是...
