06.17: How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking

2014-05-13 20:39:07| Powells Books Events Calendar

The math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong (Penguin Press), Jordan Ellenberg shows us how terribly limiting this view is: math isn't confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life but rather touches everything we do — the whole world is shot through with it. Math-world superstar Ellenberg unveils the hidden beauty and logic of the world and puts its power in our hands.
