Description
It is said that the road to success is hard work. However, there is often a much faster and easier path to success – a shortcut. And in creating shortcuts that make our lives easier by saving us time and effort, mathematics excels – it is essentially the art of inventing shortcuts. Leading British mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, in his new book The Art of the Shortcut, shows how mathematics allows us to solve problems quickly and efficiently by utilizing clever shortcuts. The author takes us through the world of mathematical shortcuts – from formulas and diagrams to calculus and probability theory. We will learn why one diagram led to fundamental changes in healthcare, why calculus is the greatest shortcut ever invented, and why we have an advantage over even the most powerful computers thanks to shortcuts.
