The hardcover version of this book may be good for throwing at mathphobic teens in answer to their whining “when am I ever going to use this in real life?”
But for anybody else paying attention to how the modern economy works, how technology is evolving, or how politicians and the media abuse statistics, it’s not a question we were asking or needed answering. The book is too basic for this audience.

An informative and well written book about applied math.
I liked how clear the explanations are and the style of writing.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine
