Rezensionen

All events have a mathematical element. Sumpter shows that happiness begins with a simple calculation, and explores how our brains spot patterns Simon Ings Telegraph, Best Books of the Year

I wish David Sumpter had been my maths teacher. I hated the subject at school. I hoover up his books now. . . He unpicks four big 20th-century ideas, all related to mathematical modelling of real-world behaviour. His particular genius is to apply these ways of thinking to relatable situations James McConnachie The Sunday Times
