{"product_id":"2-teei11476260","title":"Mathematical Ignorance and Its Consequences. 2nd ed.","description":"\u003cp\u003eInnumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences. 2nd ed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThe inability to deal with large numbers and probabilities leads people to make many unfounded decisions, both on a global and everyday level. Due to mathematical illiteracy, they allow themselves to be manipulated by the media, trust all kinds of pseudoscience, and become frightened by events that deserve little attention. Why even intelligent and educated people often fail to understand mathematics at all and what the price of such ignorance is are questions that deeply concern the author of this book.\nJohn Allen Paulos examines very different aspects of our lives from a mathematical perspective: presidential elections and statistics, securities fraud and medical quackery, insurance and casinos, lotteries and clinical tests—all without overusing complex calculations and sparing no entertaining stories that vividly illustrate the arguments about numbers and probabilities.\nThe book helps readers realize their mistakes and teaches them to avoid the traps that an uncritical mind easily falls into. It is aimed at everyone who values common sense and strives for a rational view of the world.\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; width: 40%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eArt.
