520 "In this book, David Sumpter takes an algorithm-strewn
journey to the dark side of mathematics. He investigates
the equations that analyse us, influence us and will
(maybe) become like us, answering questions such as: Are
Google algorithms racist and sexist? ; Why do election
predictions fail so drastically? ; What does the future
hold as we relinquish our decision-making to machines?
Featuring interviews with those working at the cutting
edge of algorithm research, along with a healthy dose of
mathematical self-experiment, Outnumbered will explain how
mathematics and statistics work in the real world, and
what we should and shouldn't worry about."--from book
