A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper: Making Sense of the Numbers in the Headlines
John Allen Paulos
From crime figures to health scares, election polls to stock market forecasts, numbers make the news all the time. But are they accurate? This title travels through the pages of an average newspaper, revealing how mathematics is at the heart of the articles we read everyday - even horoscopes and the sports pages - and how often they mislead us.
