English Summary/英文概要： Mathematics can tell you things about the world that can’t be learned in any other way. This hugely informative and wonderfully entertaining little book answers one hundred essential questions about existence. It unravels the knotty, clarifies the conundrums and sheds light into dark corners. From winning the lottery, placing bets at the races and escaping from bears to sports, Shakepeare, Google, game theory, drunks, divorce settlements and dodgy accounting; from chaos to infinity and everything in between, 100 Essential Things You Didn’t Know You Didn’t Know has all the answers!
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 熱門影集”數字搜查線中”，數學彷彿無所不解。的確，數學是可與運用在生活的各領域，而不在只是書本中的數學公式，數學可以告訴你關於世界的很多知識,而這些知識是通過其他方法學不到的。 本書包羅萬象，從彩票中獎，寵物競賽，體育運動到莎士比亞，Google的搜尋引擎原理，賽局理論，醉酒，離婚問題的處理和掩人耳目的會計學；從宇宙的混沌到宇宙的無限大以及期間的一切存在物。
以離婚為例，許多夫妻在離婚時常因分配不均，總是覺得對方拿的比較多，從此變成仇人。本書透過數學原理讓人覺得自己得到的比一半還多？！ (VC)
