Introduction: the Ten -- The Judgment Equation -- The Betting Equation -- The Confidence Equation -- The Skill Equation -- The Influencer Equation -- The Market Equation -- The Advertising Equation -- The Reward Equation -- The Learning Equation -- The Universal Equation -- Acknowledgments -- List of Figures "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"-- Provided by publisher. Mathematics Popular works.
