Review of 'How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Math as the magnifier of common sense is the focus of this excellent book, covering several interesting mathematical topics with very little math required. The translation to layman's terms is done well and with humor, making for a very accessible approach. The last chapter dives into some deep math concepts and was spread a bit thin for this work; the end notes give some decent suggestions for further study. Recommended!
