Recenzii
“This
book
is
a
fairly
dense
treatment
of
a
range
of
mathematical
applications,
from
trigonometry
through
calculus,
probability,
basic
counting,
and
voting
theory.
The
work
claims
to
be
a
source
of
topics
for
writing
assignments
in
undergraduate
math
courses.
…
the
book
may
best
serve
as
a
reference
on
a
professor's
shelf
to
skim
through
…

“A large number of exercises are given at the end of each chapter … . While this book is a good response to the first year calculus student asking what math is used for, it is a significant overstatement to consider the contents a topic of everyday life.” (Charles Ashbacher, MAA Reviews, maa.org, March, 2016)

Notă biografică
John
Haigh
set
up
the
module
“Mathematics
In
Everyday
Life”
at
Sussex
University
in
2005,
in
response
to
a
desire
to
show
First
Year
students
some
of
the
areas
where
their
mathematical
skills
and
knowledge
could
provide
useful
insight,
and
to
give
them
practice
in
applying
the
mathematics
they
were
learning
on
other
modules.
This
book
has
the
benefit
of
feedback
from
several
cohorts
of
students.
John has also written the well-received Popular Science book “Taking Chances” and, with Rob Eastaway, “The Hidden Mathematics of Sport”.

How
does
mathematics
impact
everyday
events? The
purpose
of
this
book
is
to
show
a
range
of
examples
where
mathematics
can
be
seen
at
work
in
everyday
life.
From money (APR, mortgage repayments, personal finance), simple first and second order ODEs, sport and games (tennis, rugby, athletics, darts, tournament design, soccer, snooker), business (stock control, linear programming, check digits, promotion policies, investment), the social sciences (voting methods, Simpson’s Paradox, drug testing, measurements of inequality) to TV game shows and even gambling (lotteries, roulette, poker, horse racing), the mathematics behind commonplace events is explored. Fully worked examples illustrate the ideas discussed and each chapter ends with a collection of exercises.
Everyday Mathematics supports other first year modules by giving students extra practice in working with calculus, linear algebra, geometry, trigonometry and probability. Secondary/high school level mathematics is all that is required for students to understand the material. Those students whose degree course includes writing an extended mathematical essay will find many suitable topics here, with pointers to extend and develop the material.
