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 make sense of the world around them using four different ways of thinking: statistical, interactive, chaotic, and complex. In explaining the essence of these ways, the differences between them, and the benefits that anyone can derive from them, Sumpter draws on the research of R. Fisher (who introduced the concept of maximum likelihood), K. Shannon (who described the mathematical theory of information), and A. Kolmogorov (a pioneer of chaos theory and a star of Soviet mathematics). The author vividly and convincingly talks about how one can penetrate the mysteries of human existence through numbers, but at the same time urges us to remember that we are all inexpressibly complex and are always capable of discovering something new both in others and in ourselves.
