How to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the maths of modern life
Description:
''Maths needs more demystifiers, and Junaid Mubeen is here to lift back the veil'' Eugenia Cheng, author of The Art of Logic To many of us, so-called ''pure mathematics is downright baffling. The first question in classrooms is often: when will I use this? Yet, when you start to think like a mathematician, modern life can suddenly make a lot more sense. In Think Like a Mathematician, Junaid Mubeen shows how using abstract mathematical concepts as thinking tools can enrich our everyday lives - from prime numbers to fractals and the aspects of calculus. Whether you''re a mathematician or a self-proclaimed mathophobe, you''ll find all of these ideas easy to grasp and rewarding to understand - some may even reshape the way you see the world.
Review quote:
Think Like A Mathematician elegantly reveals how to tackle familiar problems in a smarter way - from logic and learning to predictions and politics. An essential toolkit for understanding the world around us
Review quote:
An accessible and innovative trip through some of the deepest and most influential concepts in the mathematician''s mental toolkit
Review quote:
Think Like a Mathematician democratises the abstract beauty of mathematics, breaking it free from its display cabinet.
Review quote:
Praise for Mathematical Intelligence: Maths needs more demystifiers, and Junaid Mubeen is here to lift back the veil to show the inner workings of maths and mathematicians
