Synopsis

By revealing why someone hates math, why someone founds it difficult, and why only several people are exceptional in this subject, the author puts forward some advice and suggestions which could help improve our mathematical capacity. This can be an inevitable book for you no matter it charms you, disgusts you or scares you. If mankind is born with the instinct for numbers, just as they have the language gift, why cant everyone deal with mathematics? In The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved and Why Numbers Are Like Gossip, Keith Devlin interprets it from the positive and negative perspectives. The author illustrates how our inherent ability of creating models helps us conduct mathematical reasoning.
