The human imagination seems able to explore two very different worlds: the realm of mathematics, statistics and exact science, and the contrasting world of personal experience - our memories and emotions, the stories that make up our lives. This delightful and original book explores the unexpected relationships that tie these two worlds together. With anecdotes about such phenomena as the Bible codes, the statistics of stereotyping, and the probability of retrieving lost socks, John Allen Paulos examines these issues in his familiar engaging style.
