Traduzione di Frediani S. Torino, 2021; br., pp. 368, ill., cm 13,5x21. (Piccola Biblioteca Einaudi. Big). È solo negli ultimi tre secoli che la formidabile macchina per la creazione di conoscenza che chiamiamo scienza moderna ha trasformato il nostro modo di vivere e la nostra visione dell'universo, ben duemila anni dopo l'invenzione della legge, della filosofia, del teatro e della matematica. Perché abbiamo impiegato così tanto tempo a inventare la scienza? E perché è così potente? La macchina della conoscenza offre una risposta radicale, mostrando come la scienza inviti da sempre gli scienziati a fare qualcosa di apparentemente irrazionale: devono spogliarsi di tutte le conoscenze precedenti - come convinzioni teologiche, metafisiche o politiche - per poi indirizzare tutte le loro energie nell'osservazione e nella sperimentazione, abbracciando dunque un metodo di ricerca irragionevolmente circoscritto e ben delimitato, ma che dai tempi di Newton e Bacone è la vera forza del successo della scienza. In un'epoca di cambiamenti climatici, nuove malattie e tecnologie in vertiginoso progresso, secondo Strevens abbiamo più che mai la necessità di cogliere il funzionamento interno della nostra macchina della conoscenza. «Un'indagine elegante e accessibile sulla natura del metodo scientifico». Nigel Warburton «Come nel caso de La struttura delle rivoluzioni scientifiche di Kuhn, la concisione e la semplicità di questo testo non possono nascondere l'audacia della sua concezione, la straordinaria portata della sua ambizione. È un libro molto importante, forse addirittura un grande libro». David Wootton.

8vo, hardcover in dj. Can a renowned mathematician successfully outwit the stock market? Not when his biggest investment is WorldCom.In A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market , best-selling author John Allen Paulos employs his trademark stories, vignettes, paradoxes, and puzzles to address every thinking reader's curiosity about the market--Is it efficient? Is it random? Is there anything to technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and other supposedly time-tested methods of picking stocks? How can one quantify risk? What are the most common scams? Are there any approaches to investing that truly outperform the major indexes?But Paulos's tour through the irrational exuberance of market mathematics doesn't end there. An unrequited (and financially disastrous) love affair with WorldCom leads Paulos to question some cherished ideas of personal finance. He explains why "data mining" is a self-fulfilling belief, why "momentum investing" is nothing more than herd behavior with a lot of mathematical jargon added, why the ever-popular Elliot Wave Theory cannot be correct, and why you should take Warren Buffet's "fundamental analysis" with a grain of salt.Like Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street , this clever and illuminating book is for anyone, investor or not, who follows the markets--or knows someone who does. About the Author: John Allen Paulos received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and is professor of mathematics at Temple University. Dr. Paulos has written a number of scholarly papers on mathematical logic, probability, and the philosophy of science. He is also the author of Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences, Beyond Numeracy: Ruminations of a Numbers Man , Mathematics and Humor , and A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper . He lives in Philadelphia with his wife and two children.
