評分Existence那章看到起雞皮疙瘩
評分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。
評分cant even finish it... too general and too common sense
評分作者Ellenbery開始將數學由簡單到復雜,解決問題由簡單到復雜分成四象限,該書著重講述簡單數學解決復雜問題這個象限。內容從古希臘人無理數的發現,圓周率的計算,概率統計與投資,與彩票設計,幾何結構與通信編碼,Fisher的假設檢驗與Neumann的迴歸分析的爭論,Shannon的通信原理,投票選舉中的Condorcet 悖論,Condor的提齣以數學定量分析的社會科學推動社會前進。整個書涉獵數學範圍很廣並且與當今社會的空間通信編碼,經濟,金融投資,社會發展緊密聯係,非常好。
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.

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?
《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...
評分清明节假期,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...
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...
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》...
