Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception

The Proofiness of Numbers: How Mathematical Misinformation is Used to Deceive Us by Charles Seife is a groundbreaking book that exposes the dark side of mathematics and its power to shape our beliefs and decisions.

This eye-opening investigation reveals how numbers can be used to convince us of absurdities, from the false claim that having a child makes you stupid, to the myth that natural blondes will be extinct within two hundred years.

Seife reminds readers that bad mathematics has a dangerous side, and can be used to bring down governments, ruin economies, and fix election outcomes.

With the insight of Malcolm Gladwell and the wit of John Allen Paulos, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how numbers shape our world.
