الوصف

Our entire world is built on mathematics, from the code that runs websites to the equations that design skyscrapers and bridges. Most of the time, this math works quietly in the background... until it doesn't. Until it breaks down. All sorts of seemingly harmless mathematical errors can have devastating consequences. Math is easy to overlook until a misplaced decimal point ruins the stock market, a unit conversion mistake causes a plane crash, or someone divides by zero and leaves a warship adrift in the middle of the ocean. Matt Parker explores and explains a series of failures, near-calamities, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, road signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, revealing the strange ways math can get us into trouble—and how this highlights its vital role in our world. Making mistakes has never been so fun.
