SUMMARY
"Not the least unexpected thing aboutMathematics and the Unexpectedis that a real mathematician should write not just a literate work, but a literary one."--Ian Stewart,New Scientist"In this brief, elegant treatise, assessable to anyone who likes to think, Ivar Ekelund explains some philosophical implications of recent mathematics. He examines randomness, the geometry involved in making predictions, and why general trends are easy to project (it will snow in January) but particulars are practically impossible (it will snow from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the 21st)."--Village VoiceEkeland, Ivar is the author of 'Mathematics and the Unexpected' with ISBN 9780226199900 and ISBN 0226199908.
