Description
This book shows us that math isn’t confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to the true meaning of information we take for granted: How early should you get to the airport? What does “public opinion” really represent? Why do tall parents have shorter children? Who really won Florida in 2000? And how likely are you, really, to develop cancer?--from publisher's website.
