How to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the maths of modern life

When we learn about abstract mathematical concepts - from prime numbers and fractals to aspects of calculus - the most common question is often: when on earth will I need this? To many of us, so-called 'pure' mathematics is downright baffling. Yet these concepts are what underpin the world we live in, from internet security to the transmission of radio waves. When you start to think like a mathematician, the secrets of technology and modern life suddenly make sense.

Junaid Mubeen regards mathematics as a collection of thinking tools that can enrich the way we approach our everyday lives. In Think Like a Mathematician, he presents a catalogue of enlightening mathematical concepts. Some will be familiar from school, but the majority are ideas that readers will not have encountered before. And anyone - from mathematicians to self-proclaimed mathophobes - can learn from them. All of these ideas are easy to grasp, and a few may even reshape the way you see the world.

Simple Tools for Complex Everyday Problems

The data storytelling playbook behind one billion views and counting&nbsp; The Art of Data delivers a rigorous, replicable playbook for winning attention through data-driven content. Written by Jeff Desjardins, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Visual Capitalist-the platform that grew from a one-person agency into a global publisher reaching 20 million unique monthly visitors-this book chronicles how strategic data storytelling built a billion-view media company and translates those lessons into frameworks any creator or team can apply.&nbsp; Structured around deliberate parallels to Sun Tzu's The Art of War as a strategic framework, each chapter covers the full arc of the craft: mapping the attention battlefield, building a scalable content machine, mastering framing, and executing with visual precision. The concluding section, Art of the Chart, provides annotated post-mortems of what worked and what failed across more than 5,000 published visualizations.&nbsp; Readers will also find:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Actionable takeaways for brand storytellers closing every chapter, applicable for solo creators and Fortune 500 marketing teams alike&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Empirical analysis of individual visualizations, including pieces that drew as many as 15 million views each&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Frameworks tested by clients including JPMorgan Chase, MSCI, Morningstar, McKinsey &amp; Co, and New York Life Investments&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Coverage of chart types from maps and flow diagrams to treemaps and bubble charts with honest performance assessments&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Strategies for building multi-platform reach across web, social media, email, and mobile app distribution channels&nbsp;</li> </ul> The Art of Data serves data journalists, content strategists, designers, and marketers who want to learn from a publisher that has done it at scale. Whether you are a solo creator or part of a Fortune 500 marketing team, this book provides the frameworks to turn data into lasting audience engagement. &nbsp;

The Art of Data

*New York Times bestseller* How a force that's hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be human In Against the Machine, "furiously gifted" (The Washington Post) novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents a wholly original-and terrifying-account of the technological-cultural matrix enveloping all of us. With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game-and how your very soul is at stake.It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Here Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic and poetic, Against the Machine is a spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age.

'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

Video games are the biggest entertainment industry in the world-and they have a lot to teach us. How can we recreate the satisfaction we feel playing games in day-to-day life? How can we harness that feeling to make better products?These are the questions Bing Gordon has been trying to answer over his 40 year career in tech. Affectionately known as the godfather of the video game world, his influence and canonized "Gamification Checklist" have shaped the companies we engage with every day: Amazon Prime, Zynga, Spotify, Audible, Twitch, Duolingo, and Cameo, to name a few.Gamification, as explained by Bing, is motivation with rules and scoring mechanisms. It's a framework for amplifying productivity and building social capital, leading to improved relationships, self-satisfaction, and professional achievement.Everybody Wins draws on Bing's Gamification Checklist and decades of fascinating in-the-room, behind-the-scenes stories to tell readers how to make products that people love-including a few life lessons along the way. Each chapter delves into one of the eight concepts on the Checklist, such as Wow Moments, Invest and Express, and Retention Hacking, to explore why we come back to certain products and games again and again.With candid, first-person narration and Bing's signature wit, Everybody Wins helps readers level up their products and services by understanding that what makes video games so fun, so easy to emotionally invest in, is the gold standard we should strive to replicate everywhere.

Discover how to adapt, adopt, and thrive in an AI-anxious era, written by the man with the compass for our maze Expecting the apocalypse around the corner? This book is your playbook to surviving the rise of machine learning. 71% of workers are anxious about AI. The good news: the machines still need you, and you can make them work for you. Don't Panic cuts through the noise, showing you exactly how this technology works and where it fails, and why your human judgment is more valuable than ever. Instead of focusing on technical skills or abstract predictions, author Nate B. Jones ("AI Nate") begins with the emotional reality behind AI anxiety, drawing on his 20-years experience in the tech industry. He's garnered trust from more than 1 million people to help them stay relevant in a rapidly changing technological landscape. AI might have a planet-sized brain, but just like Marvin the Android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Planet, it’s permanently stuck at factory settings. It can’t learn, it can’t adapt, and it can’t gain wisdom. This book reveals why AI's permanent blind spots make human judgment more valuable today than ever before.&nbsp; Worry less, and start owning your future.

A novel framework for how entrepreneurs can use Bayesian reasoning to make decisions. This edited volume introduces and explores the concept of Bayesian entrepreneurship, a novel framework for understanding entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty. It brings together contributions from leading scholars to examine how entrepreneurs form beliefs about opportunities, learn through experimentation, and make strategic decisions. The Bayesian approach emphasizes the critical interaction between an entrepreneur’s prior beliefs and their capacity for learning and experimentation to update those beliefs. This dynamic process allows entrepreneurs to formulate and test theories about value creation and capture, attract resources and capabilities, and implement effective entrepreneurial strategies. The volume is organized around four key themes: <ul><li>the foundations and distinguishing features of Bayesian entrepreneurship </li><li>how entrepreneurs form and update prior beliefs in entrepreneurial decision-making</li><li>the role of experimentation and learning in entrepreneurial strategy</li><li>applications to entrepreneurship education and practice</li></ul> Bayesian Entrepreneurship offers both theoretical contributions advancing our understanding of entrepreneurial decision-making and practical insights for entrepreneurs and educators.
