We live in a world that is not quite "right."

Our attempts to measure things are plagued with small errors. Our attempts to understand our world are blocked by blunders. And, unfortunately, in some cases, people have been known to lie.

We measure rainfall and radiation, the depths of space and the emptiness of atoms, calories and steps, happiness and fear. If we could not measure then we could not observe the world around us; we could not experiment, learn, and co-operate. But why did this urge to measure flourish? And when did measurement become ubiquitous? It is an incredible story that spans hunter-gatherer societies to ancient Egyptians, the French Revolution to the relentless quantification of the 21st-century self. It is a tale that tracks humanity's search for dependable truths in a chaotic universe.

Brian Clegg was always fascinated by Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation series of books, in which the future is predicted using sophisticated mathematical modelling of human psychology and behaviour. Only much later did he realise that Asimov's 'psychohistory' had a real-world equivalent: game theory. Originating in the study of probabilistic gambling games that depend on a random source—the throw of a dice or the toss of a coin—game theory soon came to be applied to human interactions: essentially, what was the best strategy to win, whatever you were doing?

Over a period spanning nearly 15 years, I studied mathematics and physics while tutoring college students in all areas of undergraduate math and physics courses. While encountering so many different students and courses, I recognized that most students had forgotten crucial information from previous classes and did not know how to navigate textbooks to find what they were looking for. For this reason, I combed through all math and physics courses and isolated all equations and formulas in one easy-to-reference text.

Story
While encountering so many different students and courses, I recognized that most students had forgotten crucial information from previous classes and did not know how to navigate textbooks to find what they were looking for. For this reason, I combed through all math and physics courses and isolated all equations and formulas in one easy-to-reference text. I also included many notes, tips, and tricks covering situations that are usually quite simple but often misunderstood. I hope my collection of formulas, equations, and advice helps you through Calculus 1 (Differential).

Story
Over a period spanning nearly 15 years, I studied mathematics and physics while tutoring college students in all areas of undergraduate math and physics. While encountering so many different students and courses, I recognized that most students had forgotten crucial information from previous classes and did not know how to navigate textbooks to find what they were looking for. For this reason, I combed through all math and physics courses and isolated all equations and formulas in one text. I also included many notes, tips, and tricks covering situations that are often misunderstood.

Story
In Hidden Games, MIT economists Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle ground between the hyperrationality of classical economics and the hyper-irrationality of behavioural economics. They call it hidden games. Reviving game theory, Hoffman and Yoeli use it to explain our most puzzling behaviour, from the mechanics of Stockholm syndrome and internalised misogyny to why we help strangers and have a sense of fairness.

Story
We like to think of ourselves as rational. This idea is the foundation for classical economic analysis of human behavior, including the awesome achievements of game theory. But as behavioral economics shows, most behavior doesn’t seem rational at all - which, unfortunately, casts doubt on game theory’s real-world credibility. In Hidden Games, Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle ground between the hyperrationality of classical economics and the hyper-irrationality of behavioral economics.

Story
What does it mean to be lucky? How might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximise those of good? Is there actually such a thing as ‘luck’—some force that intervenes between desire and its consummation, that impedes or hastens it? To answer these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a search for the definition of luck.

Do you want to become mentally sharper and quicker? Do you want to be able to save time and calculate large numbers on the go while you're shopping or calculating a bill at a restaurant? Do you want other people to notice how you seem to not need a calculator, how you seem like such a genius? Mental math is the ability to solve math problems in your head, without the need to write or use a calculator. And it has all of the benefits implied above and much more. Preliminary studies have even shown that mental math can improve your emotional health as well.
