Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Is there a secret formula for getting rich? For making something a viral hit? For deciding how long to stick with your current job, Netflix series or even relationship?
This book is all about the equations that make our world go round. Ten of them, in fact. They are integral to everything from investment banking to betting companies and social media giants. And they can help you to increase your chance of success, guard against financial loss, live more healthily and see through scaremongering. They were known only by mathematicians - until now.
With wit and clarity, Mathematician David Sumpter shows that it isn't the technical details which make these formulas so successful. It is the way they allow mathematicians to view problems from a different angle - a way of seeing the world that anyone can learn.
Empowering and illuminating, The Ten Equations That Rule the World shows how maths really can change your life.

No accompanying PDF
For a maths-heavy book an accompanying PDF would have helped a lot… explanations do not lend themselves to words-only descriptions. The reader sounds like he is an AI, completely devoid of emotion. The author is heavily left-leaning and this comes through too strongly in the book which doesn’t need politics to explain the points.

Unnecessarily “woke”
Interesting book, but a Politicisation of maths with big assumptions about what “everybody should think”
