Freakonomics showed how economic calculations can explain seemingly counterintuitive decision-making. Thinking, Fast and Slow helped listeners identify a host of small cognitive errors that can lead to miscalculations and irrational thought. In What the Luck?, statistician and author Gary Smith sets himself a similar goal, and explains - in clear, understandable, and witty prose - how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see just about every aspect of our lives.

“A mathematician,” G. H. Hardy wrote, “like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns." Throughout his childhood, Jim Tilley was encouraged to discover such patterns through the mathematical puzzles his father posed for him to solve. Never satisfied with ordinary solutions, his father insisted on mathematical elegance. Always more comfortable in the realm of the mind, he could never bring himself to give Tilley a hug; they'd merely shake hands on parting. Both father and son set standards for intellectual achievement so high it was difficult to ever be satisfied.

Monsieur LeBlanc: The Secret Identity of Sophie Germain, Mathematician and Revolutionary She defied a revolution, disguised her identity, and changed the future of science—all while the world looked the other way. In Legacy in Silence, the forgotten story of Sophie Germain comes vividly to life: a young girl in revolutionary France who taught herself mathematics in secret, defied every social barrier, and helped lay the foundations for modern physics and engineering. Denied formal education and excluded from scientific institutions, Sophie forged a path with ink, intellect, and an ...

Whether you are retail employee or a budding entrepreneur, or really just someone looking to contribute to your place of work, you will surely encounter problems that require planning and analysis to address them. What you may not know is that, most of the time statistics, specifically probability and its concepts, will often give you an edge in identifying solutions and strategies to help you move forward with a great plan.

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that is primarily concerned with the counting numbers. Of particular importance are the prime numbers, the "building blocks" of our number system. The subject is an old one, dating back over two millennia to the ancient Greeks, and for many years has been studied for its intrinsic beauty and elegance, not least because several of its challenges are so easy to state that everyone can understand them, and yet no one has ever been able to resolve them. But number theory has also recently become of great practical importance.

In Fluke, mathematician Joseph Mazur takes a second look at the seemingly improbable, sharing with us an entertaining guide to the most surprising moments in our lives. He takes us on a tour of the mathematical concepts of probability, such as the law of large numbers and the birthday paradox, and combines these concepts with lively anecdotes of flukes from around the world. How do you explain finding your college copy of Moby Dick in a used bookstore on the Seine on your first visit to Paris?

Vedic Mathematics is not only a sophisticated pedagogic and research tool but also an introduction to an ancient civilisation. It takes us back to many millennia of India’s Mathematical heritage. Rooted in the ancient Vedic sources which heralded the dawn of human history and illumined by their erudite exegesis, India’s intellectual, scientific and aesthetic vitality blossomed and triumphed not in only in philosophy, physics, Astronomy, ecology and performing arts but also in Geometry, Algebra and arithmetic. Vedic Mathematics is just around 50 years old and has lot of potential and ...

Game theory usually arrives wrapped in equations, diagrams, and technical language. This book strips all that away and gets to the heart of the subject: how people actually interact when their choices affect one another. From trust and conflict to cooperation and power, it demonstrates that game theory is not about cold calculation. Still, about understanding human behaviour in the social settings we encounter every day. Moving from classic ideas like the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Nash equilibrium to real-world applications in politics, economics, law, workplaces, families, and online life, ...

'BRILLIANTLY CLEAR AND CAPTIVATING PROSE' STEPHEN FRY A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR 2023 An award-winning mathematician explores the maths behind the games we love and why we love to play them. Where should you move first in Connect 4? What is the best property in Monopoly? And how can pi help you...

We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a "biggest number". Or can there? To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? Then things get serious.

This book, "Superintelligence: The Promise and Peril of Advanced AI," is born out of a critical need for a new kind of textbook. For too long, the study of AI has been bifurcated. On one side lie the deeply technical manuals, dense with mathematics and code, accessible only to specialists. On the other, the speculative, often sensationalist, narratives that discuss the future of AI without a firm grounding in its underlying principles. This book serves as a bridge. It is designed for the next generation of engineers, thinkers, and leaders—the B.Tech and M.Tech students who will not just ...
