Four ways of thinking
29.99 €
David Sumpter, professor of applied mathematics at Uppsala University and author of several popular science bestsellers, invites readers to understand the world around them using four different modes of thinking: statistical, interactive, chaotic, and complex. Explaining the essence of these modes, the differences between them, and the benefits anyone can derive from them, Sumpter draws on the research of Richard Fisher (who introduced the concept of maximum likelihood), Carl Shannon (who described mathematical information theory), and Alexander Kolmogorov (a pioneer of chaos theory and a star of Soviet mathematics). The author vividly and convincingly explains how we can use numbers to penetrate the mysteries of human existence, but also urges us to remember that we are all inexpressibly complex and always capable of discovering something new, both in others and in ourselves.
