In today’s data-driven world, maths is a weapon wielded by banks,
insurance companies, tech firms, and government agencies. These
organizations use sophisticated algorithms to calculate odds, make
predictions, uncover patterns, manage risk, and optimize actions. And
they treat you as another number to crunch along the way.
Robin Hood Maths explains the mathematical methods these companies and
agencies use to manipulate and profit off of you. It’s easy to assume
these algorithms are too complex to even understand, let alone use for
yourself. But maths professor Noah Giansiracusa makes the compelling
case that anyone can use these same methods, without any special
training or advanced knowledge. He offers simple hacks and streamlined
formulas for beating the number crunchers at their own game.
With Professor Giansiracusa as your guide, you’ll learn how to use
maths to rescue your credit score and make better investments, take
control of your social media, and reclaim agency over the decisions you
make every day. In a society designed to take from the poor and give to
the rich, maths has the potential to be a powerful democratizing force.
Robin Hood Maths gives you the tools you need to think for yourself,
act in your own best interest, and thrive.
