商品簡介
From the statistics that underpin our newsfeeds, through the big data that informs our health and finance services, to the algorithms that underpin how we communicate – mathematics is at the heart of how our modern world functions. In 20 dip-in lessons, Understanding Numbers examines how and why mathematics is used and guides you to better understand the numbers that fuel your world.
