About the Author

John Allen Paulos is a renowned mathematician, author, and professor emeritus at Temple University, celebrated for his ability to unravel the complexities of mathematics and human behavior through engaging narratives. With a PhD in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, Paulos has spent decades exploring the intersections of numbers, probability, and everyday decision-making, often with a sharp wit that exposes the follies of irrational thinking. His seminal work, 'Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences,' became a bestseller, awakening public awareness to the perils of numerical ignorance in society. Paulos's latest book, '投資，是放大人性的機率遊戲：善用數理邏輯解鎖投資心理戰，超人氣數學家用血淚悟出的市場硬道理 (Traditional Chinese Edition),' applies probabilistic insights to the high-stakes world of investing, revealing how cognitive biases and chance play out in financial markets. Through his writings, Paulos empowers readers to navigate uncertainty with logic and skepticism, blending rigorous analysis with accessible storytelling to demystify the quantitative underpinnings of life.
