About the book: 2016 / Perhaps it seemed to you that you were far from mathematics, and all you took out of school was “Pythagorean pants in all directions are equal." If you've always thought that you won't need math, then it's time to disabuse yourself of that. In the book “Mathematics for Geeks” by Raphael Rosen, you will not only learn a lot of new things, but also in practice you will understand that every day is full of mathematics - round manhole covers are round for a reason, Romanesco cabbage, which so attracts our attention, even your shoelaces , which have a lot in common with your DNA or even your envy on social networks has mathematical roots. After reading, you will be able to use terms such as Dewey classification, Fibonacci numbers, Nash equilibrium, Monty Hall paradox, chaos theory in conversation, prepare for the text Turing, find out how a film wins an Oscar, and what this Brazil nut effect is.
