Taking an amusing and digestible look at the usually dry world of probability and statistics, this is the ultimate guide to how you can incorporate them into everyday life, from one of the world's most sought-after experts in game theory.This book reveals how statistics and probability are fundamental to our everyday life – from advertisements to public-opinion polls, weather forecasts to government policies, scientific research to stock market information. Haim Shapira then presents a myriad of anecdotes, riddles, case studies and practical exercises in his trademark witty voice to guide the reader through the importance of statistics and probability in everyday life. Some examples include:making sense of NBA stats – discover who is the greatest scorer of all timea beginner's guide to gambling successfullywhy events of very low probability have happened, are happening and will happenwhat role stats has to play in flat-earth conspiracy argumentsthe likelihood of winning the lotterymisconceptions about statistical findings surrounding COVID-19what "beyond reasonable doubt" really meansa case of misunderstood probabilities in the Sally Clarke and OJ Simpson trialsWith easy-to-follow explanations, tables and graphs of all the maths behind the statistics – averages, standard deviation, percentiles, logarithmic scales, correlation coefficient – this book provides everything you need to know to determine your options and calculate your chance of success, thereby learning to make better decisions.

This is the revised and extended second edition of the successful basic book on computer arithmetic. It is consistent with the newest recent standard developments in the field. The book shows how the arithmetic and mathematical capability of the digital computer can be enhanced in a quite natural way. The work is motivated by the desire and the need to improve the accuracy of numerical computing and to control the quality of the computed results (validity). The accuracy requirements for the elementary floating-point operations are extended to the customary product spaces of computations including interval spaces. The mathematical properties of these models are extracted into an axiomatic approach which leads to a general theory of computer arithmetic. Detailed methods and circuits for the implementation of this advanced computer arithmetic on digital computers are developed in part two of the book. Part three then illustrates by a number of sample applications how this extended computer arithmetic can be used to compute highly accurate and mathematically verified results. The book can be used as a high-level undergraduate textbook but also as reference work for research in computer arithmetic and applied mathematics.

People add all the time in their heads; it's second nature to them. It turns out math is inescapable, even out of school. In this invaluable volume, young mathematicians will be guided through some fast facts of addition and learn how they can be applied to real-life situations. They'll find out about the associative, commutative, and distributive properties, as well as about special terms used for numbers in equations. Math Mania! boxes allow them to solve problems themselves and assess their understanding of each concept. They'll love adding to their math knowledge, thanks to the beneficial, and curricular, information.

'The Derivation of Mathematics: Mastering Secondary School Mathematics' delivers a logical, easy-to-learn approach to Mathematics for students, teachers and parents. Author, Paul McNamara has combined his love of Maths, with his academic and professional experience to develop the MSSM program. With its clear, detailed explanations of Arithmetic (the most basic branch of Mathematics), this program develops a deep understanding of the subject that students can apply to real world situations. This book is formatted so that each chapter is a stand-alone module that students can work through methodically and logically. It introduces, not only Arithmetic, but the concepts of basic Algebra and Geometry without overwhelming readers with other branches of mathematics. Its purpose is to lay the foundation for further study into Mathematics. The author's hope is to 'ignite a passion for Mathematics in school students' resulting in students who are self-confident learners and problem solvers. By developing their full learning potential they will make a real contribution to the world.

It seems like all of the good counting books stop at ten, or maybe one hundred, or if you're lucky, one thousand . . . but once you cross the quadruple-digit mark, there really aren't any good counting books available. "Zero, One, Two . . . One Hundred Thousand!" takes the next step and gets you all the way up to six digits, with each number presented clearly and sequentially.

This publication provides detailed solutions for the problems in the exercise sets in the textbook "Style in Technical Math" by the author. The coverage includes both even-numbered and odd-numbered problems in the exercise sets.As our aim is to promote formulations and algorithms that promote fluency, for the most part, we have provided detailed solutions as opposed to partial solutions or just answers. Alternative approaches that meet the criteria for fostering fluency in solving mathematical problems are included in the solutions.When an exercise extends a concept that is introduced in the body of the textbook or introduces a new one, further detail about the topic is included in the form of side notes. This should help the reader connect the ideas that are presented in the body of the text to their extension in the exercises.

This textbook presents a selection of technical tools in basic math that foster fluency in working with numbers, measured values and algebraic equations. To this end, the textbook promotes the use of technical tools that are efficient and meaningful. Following the main theme of the textbook, we show how the increasing level of complexity of the problems that we, as humans, solve, leads to the need for the many tools and algorithms that are discussed in the textbook.The textbook caters to the needs of a wide variety of readers. Whether you are someone interested in self-study, a high school, college or university student, a parent, an educator, a scientist, a mathematician, or a linguist, this textbook has something for you and we hope that, after reading this book, it will be one that you will remember.
