沒有人完全不懂數學!一本寫給非數學人的數學書

.DNA檢測到底有多準確?

.疾病篩檢陽性,為什麼最好再測一次?

.怎麼利用37%法則,做出最好的選擇?



許多人覺得數學太難,在學校上課時就下意識排斥,

甚至畢業後真的只用加減乘除來處理日常事務。



這實在太可惜了!



數學最大的用處,就是幫助我們在複雜的世界中找出模型,

讓我們更容易理解現實的問題、做出最好的決定,像是:

.看穿金字塔騙局,遠離投資陷阱

.秒懂複利效應指數模型,趁早開始理財

.瞭解流行病傳播方式,做好防護、經常洗手



葉茲利用「故事」這個最簡單、最重要的模型,

來解釋日常生活幾個常被忽略,卻又相當重要的數學概念,

也告訴我們,這些攸關貧富與生死的數學並不難,

只需花點時間認識它們,

在人生旅途中不僅能多上一分欣賞風景的樂趣,

還可以閃開不易察覺的坑洞,避凶趨吉。
