Quantitative Literacy 3E is all about giving you the tools you need to critically analyze the numbers you see everywhere, from news headlines to your everyday life. We use real-world examples to show you how to think critically, make informed choices, and understand the data around you.
Being a smart consumer and informed citizen means thinking critically. As the subtitle “Thinking Between the Lines” suggests, learning to spot misleading data visualizations, understand poll margins of error, and decipher financial jargon like APR and APY is essential. This book emphasizes critical thinking by exploring real-world examples like visualizing federal defense spending. Instead of just focusing on formulas, we show you the practical applications of concepts like logarithms in decibels and the Richter scale, and how graph theory is used in spell checkers and air traffic control.
We want you to be able to answer “What’s the use?” easily. This book goes beyond just teaching you math for a class. We want to equip you with lifelong skills to be a savvy consumer of information.
