How not to be wrong: The hidden maths of everyday life
How Not to be Wrong by Jordan EllenbergGet the book: https://amzn.to/4gkYgwpThe math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us how terribly limiting this view is: Math isn’t confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do—the whole world is shot through with it.Math allows us to see the hidden structures underneath the messy and...

072 – "Die Faltung der Welt" von Anders Levermann
Auch letztes Mal ging es um Bewältigungsstrategien für globale Probleme wie die Klimakrise. Nach dem marxistischen Ansatz folgt nun ein technischerer Denkansatz. In “Die Faltung der Welt” schlägt Anders Levermann vor zur Lösung unserer Probleme neue Blickwinkel zu entwickeln. Ausgehend von der mathematischen Idee der Faltung als Grenzsetzung, die innerhalb der Grenzen große Freiheiten erlaubt, sieht er die Möglichkeiten viele aktuelle und akute Probleme durch (teilweise) neue Ansätze gewinnbringend zu lösen.

Jordan Ellenberg on the Mathematics of Political Boundaries
Any system in which politicians represent geographical districts with boundaries chosen by the politicians themselves is vulnerable to gerrymandering: carving up districts to increase the amount of seats that a given party is expected to win. But even fairly-drawn boundaries can end up quite complex, so how do we know that a given map is unfairly skewed? Math comes to the rescue. We can ask whether the likely outcome of a given map is very unusual within the set of all possible reasonable maps. That’s a hard math problem, however — the set of all possible maps is pretty big...

The Decision Corner
AlphaGO, Two Triangles, and your Political Intuitions Walk into a Bar with Jordan Ellenberg
In this episode of The Decision Corner, Brooke speaks with Jordan Ellenberg, best-selling author and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Through his research and his books, which include How Not to be Wrong, and more recently, Shape, Jordan illustrates how abstract mathematical and geometric equations can be brought to life, and indeed used to address some of the major challenges facing the world today. In today's episode, Jordan and Brooke talk about: The different types of ‘games’ or problems that people and society in general face, and why they require different types of solu...

Ep. 95: Jordan Ellenberg
"People may think of themselves as having no mind for geometry at all, but that's purely an illusion." Jordan Ellenberg -- mathematician, numbers guru, and explainer -- joins the podcast on the day his new book is released. The book, called Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else, takes that subject so many people had problems with in middle school or high school and shows even the most casual reader that we all have a feel for geometry somewhere inside us-- even if we don't think we do. Coincidentally, that is something...

"How To Never Be Wrong" by Jordan Ellenberg - Book Review
See the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It’s a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. 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? The Hidden Maths of Everyday Life "How To Never Be Wrong"...

פרק 25: תסמונת המתחזה זה כמו למידת מכונה
האם אתם מרגישים לפעמים כמו מתחזים? כאילו עוד רגע מישהו יקלוט שכל ההישגים שלכם הם תוצאה של מזל? אם כן, אז אתם תזדהו עם צחי (שם בדוי), ששאל אותנו: איך מתמודדים עם "תסמונת המתחזה"? אורן טוען שהבעיה של צחי היא מחסור במידע. כמו מחשב שמנסה ללמוד לנהוג, צחי מתמודד עם מצב שבו המשוב מגיע במרחק גדול מההחלטות שהוא מקבל, ולכן קשה לו להבין אם הוא צדק או טעה. אורן מייעץ לצחי למצוא מנטור, שייתן לו משוב מיידי וספציפי יותר. חגי חושב שהבעיה של צחי היא שהוא משווה את עצמו לאחרים בצורה שגויה, וכך יוצר לעצמו אשליה של נחיתות. הוא מספר על "הטיית ההישרדות", שכמעט הובילה למוות של טייסים במלחמת העולם השניה, וממשיכה לבלבל אותנו עד היום. חגי מציע לצחי להבין יותר טוב את הקשיים והבעיות של האנשים שסביבו, כדי שההשוואות שהוא יעשה יהיו יותר מציאותיות. הצטרפו לאירוע חי שלנו בזום! בואו לשמוע על הרעיונות שמאחורי הפודקאסט, ולאתגר אותנו עם השוואות בהפתעה! רוצים להגיב, להעיר, ולהציע נושאים לפרקים? הצטרפו לעמוד הפייסבוק שלנו, או שלחו לנו מייל! רוצים להזמין אותנו לערוך השוואה חדשה אצלכם במשרד (או בבית)? מלאו את הטופס! מקורות קורס מבוא ללמידת מכונה של אוניברסיטת סטנפורד הספר The Talent Code / Daniel Coyle הספר How Not To Be Wrong / Jordan Ellenberg (הפרק על אברהם וואלד זמין לקריאה בחינם) הביקורת של סטיבן לוויט על הספר Good to Great של מלקולם גלדוול קריאה נוספת הקטלוג המלא של קורסים חינמיים מאוניברסיטת סטנפורד משחק שבו יוצרים מכונית על בסיס אלגוריתם גנטי הספר David and Goliath / Malcolm Gladwell המוזיקה בפודקאסט: Electric Soul (Foudre Lapin's Theme) by coruscate (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/Coruscate/40980

Math is having a moment.

Fundamentally, math is not about numbers, but about relationships.

If you are a scientist, you know that the frenzy for funding can be fierce, which is why, as with any system where people are competing for a pool of money, there can be perverse incentives to fudge the numbers, or select your variables to give you the most significant result. This practice, known as "p-hacking," is rampant, as argued by a mathematician known as Jordan Ellenberg, whose book Deondre' read recently, and whose talk on the subject is linked below.

This is one of those rare books that belong on the reading list of every educated person, especially those who love mathematics, but more importantly, those who hate it. Ellenberg succeeds in explaining the value of mathematical reasoning without ever needing to go into technical detail, which makes the book ideal for those who want to learn why mathematics is so important.

Ellenberg is a rare scholar who is both a math professor (at the University of Wisconsin-Madison) and a novelist. And in his fascinating new book, How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking, he deploys analyses of poetry, politics, and even religion in a bold recasting of what math is in the first place.For Ellenberg, the stuff you hated about math in high school isn't the...
