评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...
评分《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...

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?
math theory for dummies,但我真的不喜欢math。
评分读了一半不想读了
评分东拉西扯的数学科普书,不难的东西,扯来扯去,写的比直接用数学公式硬核推进还难理解。要浅显的介绍还得看看日本的大师来。
评分2016.07.24 - 2016.09.15 Summer Read
评分虽然我对书中提到的大部分概念并不陌生,但仍然学到不少东西。作者把很多看似毫不相干的概念或现象巧妙地联系到一起,展现出数学的美妙和无所不在。
