Synopsis

Is there a secret formula for getting rich? For going viral? 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 healthfully, and see through scaremongering. They are known by only the privileged few - until now.

With wit and clarity, mathematician David Sumpter shows that it isn't the technical details that 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 shows how math really can change your life.

Goodreads review by Ángel

Great book also for beginners where you can start to develop an understanding of several important equations. The writing style is catching and you don’t feel bored in any moment of the book. Nevertheless, he spends too much time trying to convince the reader about his own personal opinions.......more

Goodreads review by Evgeny

I am quite disappointed with this book. I expected some deeper mathematical insights into the selected equations, how they are inter-connected or could be applied to some important real-life problems. But instead, author talks a lot about politics, social aspects, how to beat bookmakers. It looks li......more
