Der Zufall regiert unsere Welt. Mit welchen Zahlen man morgen im Lotto gewinnt oder wo es in zwei Jahren regnen wird, ist reine Glückssache. Trotzdem gehen wir davon aus, dass sich die Welt an berechenbare Naturgesetze hält wie eine Uhr, in der ein Zahnrad das nächste bewegt. Wenn man sich...

Strogatz reveals how this form of math rose to the challenges of each age: how to determine the area of a circle with only sand and a stick; how to explain why Mars goes "backwards" sometimes; how to turn the tide in the fight against AIDS.    

Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised, particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever. In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guides the listener through the essential principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data.

Der "Tractatus logico-philosophicus" ist das frühe Hauptwerk des Philosophen Ludwig Wittgenstein und das einzige philosophische Buch, das er zu Lebzeiten veröffentlicht. Diese gerade einmal etwa 100 Seiten zählende Abhandlung, an der Wittgenstein 7 Jahre gearbeitet hat, ist nicht nur einer der Meilensteine der modernen Sprachphilosophie, sondern besitzt heute den Rang eines Klassikers der Philosophie überhaupt.

Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.

From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.
