Synopsis

What you'll find in this book:

• NOT AI-written content: yes, we use cutting-edge technology to polish our writing and augment our research, but the heart of this book is all human: painstaking research, deliberate crafting, and a lot of late nights! Just so that you know: what you’ve got here has been shaped with heart, intention and care!
• Why mathematical literacy is one of the best “returns on investment” you can ever make.
• Rediscover the entire history of mathematics through engaging “capsules” and our “mathematical oddities” at the end of each chapter. Rediscover the paradoxes, contradictions, beauty, and harmony of this fascinating discipline!
• Learn about Vedic mathematics and how it enables you to perform astounding feats of instant calculation.
• Explore how game theory, probability, and mathematics can empower you to make better decisions in every area of life.
• Unpack the concept of mathematical and quantitative biases: why our brains struggle with numbers and quantities, and how to cultivate a deeper understanding of the universe.
• Dive into strategic tips from Poker, Blackjack, and other games, where math can tip the odds in your favor!
• Discover a treasure trove of mathematical life-hacks: practical ways to double your savings, optimize your household finances, navigate travel, find your ideal partner, and even grasp more about the nature of the universe itself!

A book insight, picked from us:

"All the discussions so far on approximating calculations, aside from making the mathematical method more creative, provide extraordinarily valid working principles to “train” us to think in terms of cost/benefit. I believe this can help us develop an ideal mindset to assess when, not only in mathematics but in any field, going beyond a certain degree of precision might incur costs that are no longer worthwhile or sustainable. Alternatively, if we wish to “invert” the concept, when small approximations in our goals, or expectations, can lead to substantial savings in terms of time, money, and resources. I am not sure if there already exists some physical or mathematical law that describes this phenomenon, but everyone has likely noticed that, in any project or endeavor, a genuinely “reasonable threshold of imperfection” can be easily identified; a demarcation line where further effort in accuracy, completeness, or control is not justified by the associated costs or sacrifices. Hence, in my opinion, trying to pinpoint this threshold whenever we aim to define our objectives or our paths remains one of the most precious tools of “intelligent productivity” we can ever have."
