Witzig und lehrreich: Eine Liebeserklärung an das Dreieck. Trigonometrie erklärt die Welt. 
 Dreiecke sind viel mehr als nur geometrische Formen. Sie bilden die Grundlage unseres täglichen Lebens und der Zivilisation, wie wir sie kennen. Trigonometrie ist vielleicht das grundlegendste Konzept, das Menschen jemals entwickelt haben. Das einfache, aber vielseitige Dreieck ermöglicht es uns, die Welt zu kartieren, Raketen ins All zu schießen, Musik aufzunehmen und beim Billard etwas weniger schlecht zu sein. Der Stand-up-Comedian, ehemalige Mathematiklehrer und Bestsellerautor Matt Parker erklärt äußerst unterhaltsam und auch für Mathe-Muffel nachvollziehbar, warum wir Dreiecke gar nicht genug schätzen können – genauso wie die überaus nützliche Trigonometrie und Geometrie, die sie ermöglichen. Denn Dreiecke sind das verborgene Muster unter der Oberfläche der heutigen Welt, das in allem verwendet wird, von GPS bis CGI über Spotify-Streaming, den Play-Button und das Dreieckstattoo Ihres besten Freundes. Ein mathematisches Pop-Science-Feuerwerk!
 
 Ausstattung: ca. 160 Abbildungen

'Probably the UK's greatest living statistician' TelegraphFrom the UK's 'statistical national treasure', a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertaintyWe live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don't know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order.Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know

The Art of Uncertainty

FROM THE AWARD-WINNING, BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND CO-HOST OF THE CHART-TOPPING EMPIRE PODCAST - A REVOLUTIONARY NEW HISTORY OF INDIA ?A master storyteller' Sunday Times India is the forgotten heart of the ancient world For a millennium and a half, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas. Indian art, religions, technology, astronomy, music, dance, literature, mathematics and mythology blazed a trail across the world, along a Golden Road that stretched from the Red Sea to the Pacific. William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India's oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of Japan, from the trade that helped fund the Roman Empire to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world - and our world today as we know it. ?At the forefront of the new wave of popular history' Observer ?A superb historian with a visceral understanding of India' The Times

How Ancient India Transformed the World

The Golden Road

What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Deep End. Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs - even if it's a problematic one.It's officially Problematic Summer - and readers can't get enough:'Ali Hazelwood's books do it for me EVERY TIME. I simply devoured every page of this...I just didn't want it to end! So many things in this just checked every box for me. The setting? GORGEOUS! The angst and tension? FINGER LICKING!

The pining, the banter, the chemistry, the spice. Perfection...With Problematic Summer Romance and Deep End, Ali Hazelwood has written two of my favorite books this year' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'I dare say that this is now my new favorite Ali Hazelwood book?!..I loved every single minute!

Problematic Summer Romance

'An invaluable companion for anyone who wants a deep understanding of what's under the hood of often inscrutable machines' Melanie Mitchell A rich, narrative explanation of the mathematics that has brought us machine learning and the ongoing explosion of artificial intelligenceMachine-learning systems are making life-altering decisions for us: approving mortgage loans, determining whether a tumour is cancerous, or deciding whether someone gets bail. They now influence discoveries in chemistry, biology and physics - the study of genomes, extra-solar planets, even the intricacies of quantum systems.We are living through a revolution in artificial intelligence that is not slowing down. This major shift is based on simple mathematics, some of which goes back centuries: linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of eighteenth-century mathematics. Indeed by the mid-1850s, a lot of the groundwork was all done. It took the development of computer science and the kindling of 1990s computer chips designed for video games to ignite the explosion of AI that we see all around us today. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental maths behind AI, which suggests that the basics of natural and artificial intelligence might follow the same mathematical rules.As Ananthaswamy resonantly concludes, to make the most of our most wondrous technologies we need to understand their profound limitations - the clues lie in the maths that makes AI possible.

Seit Jahrtausenden beschäftigt die Zahl Pi die Menschen. Natürlich ist sie praktisch, um einen Fußball, ein Gehege oder einen Brückenbogen zu berechnen, aber was um einiges spannender ist: Pi ist unendlich, irrational und magisch! In seinen Nachkommastellen finden sich die Geburtsdaten aller Kinder, die jemals gelebt haben oder leben werden, ganze Musikstücke oder die kompletten Werke von Shakespeare. Pi hört nie auf, und die Menschen können nicht aufhören, die Zahl zu berechnen. So sind derzeit Billionen von Pi-Dezimalstellen bekannt, obwohl seine ersten 15 völlig ausreichen, um eine Rakete zum Mars zu schicken!

Vom Griechen Archimedes bis zum Inder Srinivasa Ramanujan (der in seinen Träumen eine Formel zur Berechnung von Pi sah, die noch heute von Computern verwendet wird), von den Alten Ägyptern, den Mayas, den Arabern, den Chinesen und anderen Mathematikbegeisterten aus aller Welt und allen Epochen - Pi ist ein außergewöhnliches Abenteuer, das nicht nur Landesgrenzen, sondern auch die der Unendlichkeit durchbricht.

Geschrieben von einem Mathematiker und Magier mit einer Leidenschaft für Pi und einer preisgekrönten Kinderbuchautorin, führt euch Verrückt nach Pi durch Geschichte, Geografie, Philosophie und Mathematik, immer auf den Spuren dieser schwer fassbaren Zahl, die die Menschen ... verrückt und die Mathematik faszinierend machen kann. Und ganz nebenbei lernt ihr einige Kniffe, Zaubertricks und sogar Witze, mit denen ihr eure Freundinnen und Freunde verblüffen könnt.
