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。
