About this product
Product Information
How a little mathematics goes a long way in helping you not to be wrong The maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes G del's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.

- r***0 (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseEl producto llegó pronto, pero no con la descripción, la tapa dura llegó con un Crack y un agujero, en la portada del libro, contacte al vendedor y fue muy cordial y amable, me devolvió un 30% del producto o me ofrecía la posibilidad de devolver el producto y recibir 100% del costo, no creí que mereciera la pena, ya que me costó muy muy barato. Recomiendo este vendedor por la profesionalidad y dedicación a sus clientes. Gracias por el buen trato.
