math theory for dummies,但我真的不喜歡math。

評分雖然上學時一直數學苦手,但這本書必須五星推薦 - Mathematics is common sense by other means!
評分看看
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????

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?
走出校园多年,就连当年的学霸都要感叹一句:“数学?恐怕只会加减乘除了。”确实,似乎真的没有什么工作会要求数学考级的,除非是与这个领域相关的专研小组吧。 如果你想用一道题难倒你的数学老师,你就问他:“现在学的这些知识到底什么时候能用上呢?”这...
評分《魔鬼数学》里有一道很难的数学题,论一根缝衣针掉落在地板上,与地板缝相交的概率是多少?缝衣针的长度正好等于地板缝的宽度。 原问题的提出者叫布封(Georges-Louis LeClerc, Comte de Buffon),这个问题也被史称为**布封的面条问题**,使用高阶方式解决的家伙叫约瑟夫-埃米...
評分数学这门学科似乎被误解很深,在大多数人眼里,数学是枯燥乏味的计算,是艰深复杂的公式和符号,是数学奥林匹克竞赛。但是另一方面,数学家试图告诉你“数学好玩”,数学可以深入到日常生活中的应用当中去。 美国威斯康辛大学数学教授乔丹·艾伦伯格在《How Not to be Wrong》...
評分这本书应该是一本关于数学的书。但是书名的翻译让人有些摸不着头脑,how not to be wrong,怎么就叫“魔鬼数学”了呢。 同样在序言和前面几个章节中写了很多真正吸引人和有价值的内容。关于线性和非线性,一次方程,二次方程,几何,微积分,概率论,期望值等数学方面的介绍都...
