Math Disaster Not Averted
It's a commonplace observation that the better the mathematician, the worse he or she generally is at balancing a checkbook. It's not a paradox: simple arithmetic is just too boring to hold a bright, abstract thinker's attention. So perhaps this can account for what happened in Chapter 10, "How Math Can Fix the Economy." In the table titled "The S&P Tulip Index, 1975-2007," the author looks at the ratio over a period of years of the year-end closing price of the S&P500 to average household income. Unfortunately, he used REAL (inflation adjusted) household income instead of CURRENT household income. The S&P500 closing prices, of course, are in CURRENT dollars, so the ratio, to make sense, has to be CURRENT dollars to CURRENT dollars.

I immediately noticed something was wrong when I saw in the table that average household income supposedly rose only 40 percent from 1975 to 2007. In fact average household income rose 391 percent in CURRENT dollars! (I used the same Census Bureau spreadsheet as the author, but the correct column -- "Current dollars.") With this correction in place, the "S&P Tulip Index" isn't nearly as exuberant at the 1999 stock market peak: a ratio of 4.10 instead of the author's ratio of 16.29.

There is also a conceptual problem with the author's "S&P Tulip Index." It doesn't take into account population growth. If the number of households doubled from 1975 to 2007, you might reasonably expect the S&P500 to double as well, even if average household income stayed constant.

Sadly, the same mistake of REAL versus CURRENT dollars afflicts the next table too, "The Average Home Price Tulip Index, 1975-2007."

Someone should have check the math.
I got this book from the library, have read as far as page 14, and will go no further.Here the author's example is about car insurance.In his example he can buy a $100 deductible policy for $300, or a $500 deductible policy for $220.He assumes that he buys 10, 6 month policies in 5 years and has 1 accident in that time.He concludes that the $100 deductible policy will save him $32 a year!He states that he would save $80 buy buying the $100 policy for 9 of the policies (this is backward as the $100 policy cost $80 MORE then the $500 deductible policy), and loses $400 on the tenth policy (wrong again).This is exactly opposite of what happens.The $500 deductible policy saves you money.With the $500 deductible policy he would save $80 every 6 months on the premium, for ALL 10 policies, and then lose the $400 on one policy.(He ignores the fact that you must PAY for insurance even when you have an accident so the $80 needs to be multiplied by 10, not 9).

The correct calculations are:
The $100 policy for 5 years(10, 6 month policies, with one accident) will cost $300*10 + $100 = $3100
The $500 policy for 5 years(10, 6 month policies, with one accident) will cost $220*10 + 500 = $2700
He would save $400 over 5 years, or $40 per policy by buying the policy with the higher deductable, the $500 deductable!!

I can't read a book that gets such a simple example WRONG in the very first chapter!Did anyone check this book?

An Odd Mixture (3.5 stars)
Despite the word "math" in the title, this book is more oriented towards arithmetic, as pointed out by the author. Basically, it contains a variety of well-thought-out applications of simple arithmetic. Each of the fourteen chapters contains a different topic - and the topics are indeed quite varied, resulting in a rather odd mixture. The topics are so varied that a given reader is likely to find some much more interesting than others. In my case, I found many chapters quite entertaining, many informative, some even quite captivating, and others, well, rather boring. As a result, I find this book rather difficult to rate. The writing style is very friendly and includes several personal anecdotes; it is certainly most authoritative, often engaging, but, as noted, chapters of little interest to the reader may be found to be quite dull. As a result, the target audience is unclear. There are chapters on football strategies, different forms of gambling and even one (one of the longest) on how to teach arithmetic to elementary school children. On the whole, I believe that there is something of interest in this book for just about everyone, e.g., a few gamblers, maybe football fans/strategists, perhaps elementary school teachers and, possibly the odd math buff. However, I don't think that everyone who reads it will enjoy all of it. As a result of all of this, and for my own personal taste, I would give this book 3.5 stars, rounded to 4.

DEFINITELY a MATH book worth the money!
Now, you are probably thinking, "Why should I BUY a MATH book!?" Well, spend the bucks on this one. The first few chapters alone will make it worth your penny. Jim has done a GREAT job with this book; it is an easy read and gives sound advice in simple-to-understand verbiage. This isn't your average math book! Nope, not at all...trust me, I think this one has merit and should be used to TEACH math! You can't go wrong with the no-nonsense approach to using arithmetic (yep, finally using all that math from school!!!) so instead of asking, "Why do I need to know how to do...?" now you will know the why and can put that knowledge to use. Excellent job! Great read! Everyone should get this book, teachers (especially MATH teachers) notwithstanding.

Financial advice, relationship advice and more - from math?
James Stein has written a book with exceptional value. If all 18 year olds would read this book through (though the math would tell us that most won't), they would be richer, happier and safer for the rest of their lives. Just reading chapter 1 and chpater 9 is guaranteed to make you wealthier. From the decision to continue your education to whether a refi is right for your mortgage, the answers are here. The author's Tulip Index is also very revealing about the housing crisis and how it could have been avoided had the value of homes not been so lopsided against the household income.

My favorite chapter, being a lover of math and a father of four children, was chapter 11, Arithmetic for the Next Generation. In this chapter, the author gives advice on how to keep kids interested in math, how to describe the purpose of arithmetics and simple teaching techniques related to Monopoly money. Overall, an excellent read. ... Read more
