About
數學界的《蘋果橘子經濟學》,顛覆數學太過抽象、與生活無關的刻板印象! 會數學就像戴上X光的眼鏡,能從混亂無序的世界表像裡,看透其後隱藏的結構。數學是一門不會把事情搞錯的學問,它的技術與習慣經歷過多少世紀的辛勤努力與論辯。手中有了數學當工具,你可以更深刻、更穩健、更有意義的瞭解這個世界。你需要的只是一位教練,或甚至是一本書,來教導你相關規則及基本戰術。而這本《數學教你不犯錯》就是你最好的教練,它能教你如何達成目標。 在《數學教你不犯錯》的下冊中, 你會知道什麼是期望值,知道期望值的正確用法,例如在買樂透時,什麼時候才是出手的好時機;如何做決定才能獲利最多、損失最少。你還會明白迴歸趨勢,不再會對未來抱持不實際的想法,得以知道如何判斷才是正確之道。你還能清楚存在性是什麼,從此不會給民調數據搞得團團轉,清楚看出誰用什麼手段在操縱民意。你會發現,許多的盲點,都可以用數學突破,數學真的可以教你不犯錯。
