Reading the ones i mark the last time iread it.I love Innumeracy, and I love this one too....This book consists of loosely connected materials that you often see in the newspaper and John take a fresh mathematician look into it, sneering and smiling and teaching us what to watch over next time we read it.The logic will make you smile a lot, and the awakening will make you look at your newspaper with a different point of view, some sort of small revelation.I believe that John Allen Paulo has awaken up the mathematic curiocities in a lot of his readers, including me. He would argue that the percentage is too small to make a dent to this world of innumeracy people, (which is mathematically correct, and he has mathematically proven that into this world).But to those who have been changed, it did matter for their lives. Go get it and have funs reading, if you found it too daunting, take a rest, and re read the book next week, you will be glad you did.Thank You John. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spotting BS in the newspaper- a guide to the reasoning and arithmetic that journalists should be using *by T***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2014* Our world is permeated by the fragrance of that which is not so, and this is the book to help you detect it from a mile away. In this entertaining volume, Paulos dissected example articles from his years of studying the newspaper, showing what the journalist reported and how the numbers in the articles were applied (usually incorrectly) in each case. Each topic includes discussions of the logic behind the newspaper articles and of the math that underlies the claims made by the writers. It seems that one could realize almost full value from the book even if the math is too hard to follow. However, I particularly enjoyed his detailed reviews of the appropriate calculations. I heartily recommend the book to anyone who wants to become a better-informed citizen and a skilled spotter of BS. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good book *by P***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2020* This was a good read. It was difficult to read at times but generally light and funny. I had lots of fun reading it and it really opened up my eyes to new things. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/8209682-a-mathematician-reads-the-newspaper](https://www.desertcart.be/products/8209682-a-mathematician-reads-the-newspaper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
