Modern statistics is very different from the dry and dusty discipline of the popular imagination. In its place is an exciting subject which uses deep theory and powerful software tools to shed light and enable understanding. And it sheds this light on all aspects of our lives, enabling...

Propagation takes you inside the mathematics of spreading—from cloned orchards to pandemic curves to viral memes. Host Felix Mercer reveals the universal network rules that determine what spreads exponentially and what dies out.

Brought to you by Penguin. Is there a secret formula for getting rich? For making something a viral hit? For deciding how long to stick with your current job, Netflix series, or even relationship? This book is all about the equations that make our world go round. Ten of them, in fact. They are...

Featuring a wealth of sample puzzles ranging from simple to extremely challenging, this lively and engaging book brings together many of the most ingenious puzzles ever devised, including the "Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever", metapuzzles, paradoxes, and the logic puzzles in detective stories. 

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.' Douglas Adams, Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.We human beings have trouble with infinity - yet infinity is a surprisingly human subject. Philosophers and mathematicians have gone mad contemplating its nature and complexity - yet it is a concept routinely used by schoolchildren. Exploring the infinite is a

For thousands of years mathematicians solved progressively more difficult algebraic equations, until they encountered the quintic equation, which resisted solution for three centuries. Working independently, two prodigies ultimately proved that the quintic cannot be solved by a simple formula. The first popular account of the mathematics of symmetry and order, The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved is told not through abstract formulas but in a beautifully written and dramatic account of the lives and work of some of the greatest and most intriguing mathematicians in history.

Size is the most fundamental structural variable of the universe. Neither bacteria nor empires are immune to its laws. Measuring it is challenging, especially where complex systems like economies are concerned, yet mastering it offers rich rewards. Grounded in history and drawing on the latest science, with much recourse to art and classic literature, Size explains the regularities—and peculiarities—of the key processes shaping life, the Earth, technical advances and societies and economies.

En este audiolibro de cálculo mental, el matemático Arthur Benjamin enseñará a los oyentes, ya sean estudiantes que preparan algún examen o clientes que quieren comprobar el total de su compra, los principios básicos de operaciones mentales como la suma, la resta, la multiplicación y la división. Además, los oyentes explorarán el arte del cálculo aproximado para resolver operaciones que no requieren resultados exactos.

We've all heard that a picture is worth 1,000 words, but what if we don't understand what we're looking at? Social media has made charts, infographics, and diagrams ubiquitous - and easier to share than ever. However, they can also lead us astray. Charts lie in a variety of ways - displaying incomplete or inaccurate data, suggesting misleading patterns, and concealing uncertainty. In How Charts Lie, data visualization expert Alberto Cairo teaches us to not only spot the lies in deceptive visuals, but also to take advantage of good ones to understand complex stories.

Foucault fue más historiador que filósofo. Tras una investigación laboriosa, concluyó que conocimiento y poder han ido íntimamente ligados a lo largo de la historia. Ilustró esta idea central de su filosofía mediante estudios sobre la locura, la...

Sommes-nous guidés par le hasard ou par le destin ? Une histoire du déterminisme, de Newton jusqu'aux développements les plus récents de la théorie du chaos. Isaac Newton prévoit le mouvement des planètes Depuis Galilée et Newton, la physique et les mathématiques sont traversées par la question centrale du déterminisme : est-il possible de prévoir le futur à partir du présent ? Newton met au point un outil mathématique qui permet de prédire le mouvement des objets et des planètes. Ce faisant, et jusqu'au XIX siècle, il donne un élan d'optimisme conquérant à la science qui semble en état de résoudre tous les problèmes.

Les algorithmes nous entourent, ils sont partout. On les trouve dans nos smartphones, dans nos ordis, dans la cuisine, et même dans nos chambres à coucher. Les plus connus s’appellent ChatGPT, Google, Siri, et ils apprennent de nous et de nos données. Avec Ex Machina, les chercheuses et les chercheurs de l’Université Paris Dauphine–PSL nous emmènent dans leurs réflexions pour mieux comprendre l’intelligence artificielle et ce que son arrivée dans notre quotidien implique pour nous, les humains. Travail, éducation, marketing, sociologie, art, ou encore politique : ...

Brought to you by Penguin. For particularly brilliant theoretical physicists like James Clerk Maxwell, Paul Dirac or Albert Einstein, the search for mathematical truths - via ever more mind-boggling numbers - led to strange new understandings of reality. But what are these mysterious numbers...
