Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences
Autor John Allen Paulosen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2000
In his now-classic bookInnumeracy, John Allen Paulos answers questions such as: Why is following the stock market exactly like flipping a coin? How big is a trillion? How fast does human hair grow in mph? Can you calculate the chances that a party includes two people who have the same birthday? Paulos shows us that by arming yourself with some simple maths, you don't have to let numbers get the better of you.

Recenzii
John

is
the
maths
teacher
I
found
twenty-five
years
too
late
Innumeracywould improve the quality of thinking of virtually anyone
Paulos provides much in this book that is thought-provoking and informative. Markets can sucker even a maths professor. At least he can explain why
Paulos mixes high mathematics with the kind of stories that make you laugh
Taught me more about the handling of numbers in real life than a thousand hours of maths teaching
This elegant little survival manual is brief, witty and full of practical applications
