How Not to be Wrong, by Jordan Ellenberg
乔丹·艾伦伯格《如何避免错误》
Ellenberg, a mathematician and writer, explains how math plays into our daily lives without our even knowing it. Each chapter starts with a subject that seems fairly straightforward—electoral politics, say, or the Massachusetts lottery—and then uses it as a jumping-off point to talk about the math involved.
艾伦博格是名数学家,同时身为作家,他向我们解释了缘何数学潜移默化地在我们生活中发挥作用。每一章节的开头都相当直接,如,从政治选举说开去,然后荡开一笔谈论其中的数学。
The book’s larger point is that, as Ellenberg writes, “to do mathematics is to be, at once, touched by fire and bound by reason”.
这本书的亮点在于,如同艾伦博格所写道的,“数学就是忽然触及火焰,又为理性所约束。“ |
