商品描述
How the rich and powerful use math to exploit you, and what you can do to beat them at their own game Everything we do today is recorded as data that's sold to the highest bidder. Plugging our personal data into impersonal algorithms has made government agencies more efficient and tech companies more profitable. But all this comes at a price. It's easy to feel like an insignificant number in a world of number crunchers who care more about their bottom line than your humanity. It's time to flip the equation, turning math into an empowering tool for the rest of us. Award-winning mathematician Noah Giansiracusa explains how the tech giants and financial institutions use formulas to get ahead--and how anyone can use these same formulas in their everyday life. You'll learn how to handle risk rationally, make better investments, take control of your social media, and reclaim agency over the decisions you make each day. In a society that all too often takes from the poor and gives to the rich, math can be a vital democratizing force. Robin Hood Math helps you to think for yourself, act in your own best interests, and thrive.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
富人和權貴如何利用數學來剝削你，以及你可以做什麼來在他們的遊戲中擊敗他們
我們今天所做的一切都被記錄為數據，並出售給出價最高者。將我們的個人數據輸入無情的算法，使政府機構變得更有效率，科技公司變得更有利可圖。但這一切都是有代價的。在這個更關心利潤而非人性的數字世界中，感覺自己像是一個微不足道的數字是很容易的。是時候翻轉這個方程式，將數學變成我們其他人賦權的工具。 獲獎數學家 Noah Giansiracusa 解釋了科技巨頭和金融機構如何利用公式來取得優勢——以及任何人如何在日常生活中使用這些相同的公式。你將學會如何理性地處理風險，做出更好的投資，掌控你的社交媒體，並重新獲得對你每天所做決策的主導權。 在一個經常從窮人那裡拿走，卻把資源給富人的社會中，數學可以成為一種重要的民主化力量。羅賓漢數學幫助你獨立思考，為自己的最佳利益行動，並茁壯成長。作者簡介
