They've Got Your Number...: Data, Digits and Destiny - how the Numerati are changing our Lives - Softcover
Synopsis
In a world teeming with data, we ourselves become the maths gurus' most prized specimens.
In They've Got Your Number..., Stephen Baker takes us on a guided tour (no maths required) through an unprecedented new era. Much in the same way as neuroscientists are mapping our brains, mathematicians are mapping our behaviour - what we do, who we are, how we work, chat, play and shop - everything that makes us individuals. In doing so, they will change every aspect of our lives.
They've Got Your Number... examines one of the great undertakings of the twenty-first century - the mathematical modelling of humanity. It's a world that otherwise might seem remote or disconnected, but one which is absolutely relevant to our everyday lives.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In einer Welt, in der es von Daten nur so wimmelt, sind wir selbst eines der liebsten - und wertvollsten! - Forschungsobjekte der Mathematik. Was wir tun, wer wir sind, wie wir leben, arbeiten, einkaufen: alles wird erfasst und ausgewertet. Mit der Hilfe der Zahlen können Werbung, medizinische Betreuung, sogar Wahlkampagnen auf jeden Einzelnen abgestimmt werden. Komplexe Inhalte von beispielsweise Presseberichten oder Internet-Blogs, werden auf ihre mathematische Essenz reduziert. Gut verständlich für eine breite Leserschaft wird hier der Frage nachgegangen, in wie weit unsere Individualität bereits entschlüsselt wurde - und was dies für uns bedeutet.
