Interest in economics is at an all-time high. Among the challenges facing the nation is an economy with rapidly rising unemployment, failures of major businesses and industries, and continued dependence on oil with its wildly fluctuating price. Americans are debating the proper role of the government in company bailouts, the effectiveness of tax cuts versus increased government spending to stimulate the economy, and potential effects of deflation. Economists have dealt with such questions for generations, but they have taken on new meaning and significance. Tackling these questions and encompassing analysis of traditional economic theory and topics as well as those that economists have only more recently addressed, 21st Century Economics: A Reference Handbook is intended to meet the needs of several types of readers. Undergraduate students preparing for exams will find summaries of theory and models in key areas of micro and macroeconomics. Readers interested in learning about economic analysis of an issue as well students embarking on research projects will find introductions to relevant theory and empirical evidence. And economists seeking to learn about extensions of analysis into new areas or about new approaches will benefit from chapters that introduce cutting-edge topics. To make the book accessible to undergraduate students, models have been presented only in graphical format (minimal calculus) and empirical evidence has been summarized in ways that do not require much background in statistics or econometrics. It is thereby hoped that chapters will provide both crucial information and inspiration in a non-threatening, highly readable format.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not good at math. Despite taking Higher Maths in IB (I just practiced so many times that I somehow knew how to solve the question), I still didn't understand a lot of concepts. And despite all the quotes about how math was beautiful in my textbooks, I still just don't get it. And I suspect that this problem isn't unique to me a lone. So, I was really intrigued by the promise of this book to be a guided (and fun) tour of math.

Are you the type of person who spent hours on the bus on the way to school working out multiplication tables for prime numbers only? When you're having sex do you find that the earth may not move, but images of numbers and mathematical symbols appear in your head when things are going great? OK, I'm getting a little too personal here, but if you're a numbers geek, you'll love this book.

I wish I could have read this book during that hell year of first year university, when I barely passed calculus despite devoting more time to studying it then the other 4 subjects combined (or maybe it just seemed like that -- very long nights in the library, writing out reams of papers of formulae, the table strewn with my hair and tears).
Now sufficient time has passed and, like childbirth, I forget the pain and remember only those good moments, the eureka! ones.

You wouldn’t know it, but maths permeates everything we do and touch. Your smartphone would not be able to operate without maths, nor would the internet. You couldn’t buy anything risk free if we didn’t have the primes. Things as unlikely as the correct time to flip a mattress, the number of people to date before settling down, the best path from A to B, that if you look hard enough you can see sine waves everywhere all have some element of maths in them.

This book is based on Strogatz's online New York Times column, 'The Elements of Math,' and on the whole I found it a little underwhelming.
I typically rate pop-math books based on how many 'fuck, that's cool' moments they elicit, and that's a game of diminishing returns - many of my 'fuck, that's cool' resources were spent on books I read previously (and recommend more heartily), like Bellos's Here's Looking at Euclid and The Grapes of Math, Parker's Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimensi...more

Struggling through several years of higher math in engineering school in the 1960s didn't engender a love of mathematics in me. It wasn't until years later that I began to value the beauty and elegance of mathematics. A big part of my appreciation came from mathematicians like Steven Strogatz who wrote about math for readers who appreciated the concepts but had no desire to wade into a morass of complex equations.
In The Joy of x, Strogatz has done a masterful job as our tour guide through the el...more

If you feel that Mathematics is not for you, please read this book. Strogatz deftly guides the reader through some of the most important ideas in the field, using easily digestible examples. I was able to grasp concepts that eluded me all through graduate school with ease.
Most people think Math is about numbers, but it is much more than that. When used properly it is more akin to a language or a philosophy, a way to understand the world we can see and the many worlds we cannot. Some scenarios ar...more

I love this book. My only regret is that I couldn't read it in high school, when I was *actually* struggling with math. At this point (having degrees & math & math education & have spent over a decade teaching the subject and/or teachers of it), I read it more from the point of view of, 'How could I use pieces of this with students and/or the teachers that I work with?'

In these 30 short essays--a couple of which I had read before in his Time column--Strogatz begins at the beginning (

I applaud you, Stephen Strogatz, for truly putting the joy back in math! My life might have been very different if I had read this book in high school. Biology was my passion, but I avoided the field because of the math courses required for a bachelor of science degree.

A wonderful book of short essays displaying the elegance of math in a grand and easily digestible format. This book started life as a series of columns in the New York Times as an introduction to and has been expanded on a bit.

I know what 'i' (make that italics) does to something in a practical manner now!!!! Took me twenty-eight years to make it 30 minutes into a book that explained it to me.. but.. I KNOW!! Wooohooooo
Really, I loved reading this book, it was a super fun journey. Now, I'm going to sit down and make a mobius strip with my five-year old daughter!!
(Won this off of Goodreads first reads btw. Going to purchase two more copies for Christmas presents. So fun!)

Rare is the occasion to have math thrown at your brain in a direct and pedagogical manner after, say, college calculus. The Joy of X is math made quick and fun, replete with dad jokes, groaners that make an appearance at the close of each chapter. Typically, they reference a social touchstone that is out of date or just sort of lame. After a certain point, though, their earnestness infected my mind and I began to unironically enjoy them, even attempting to anticipate when, where, and in what for...more

Apr 12, 2014Phil rated it it was ok · review of another edition

Pretty dull. The book's structure parallel's that of a standard math education, and offers little added value. I wanted a greater appreciation of math's beauty, instead I god a folksy re-hash over concepts I was generally aware of, and competent and applying (the exceptions being topology, group theory, the hilbert hotel, and a few other odds and ends).
In the end, it wasn't worth my time.
Disclaimer: I have a math minor, so I know only enough math to be marginally dangerous.

I admit it: I bought Joy of X: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity for the title, although the concept also engaged me (the joy of it). I love watching people doing anything that they are passionate about: skating and gymnastics during the Olympics, performing, philosophy, science, cooking.
And, apparently, Mathematics. The goal is to give you a better feeling for what math is all about and why it’s so enthralling to those who get it.

Brilliantly written and covers so many aspects brilliantly, all the way from 'kindergarten' math to 'University-level' mathematics using a wide variety of interesting examples and tidbits of humour.

Jan 21, 2018Rick Davis rated it liked it

If I could give half stars, this would get 3.5 stars. It was fun to read, but maybe a bit too light and fluffy. I think the purpose of these essays was to skim the surface of a number of ideas though, and the author succeeded at that goal. If you're interested in some different ways to look at math functions, this book is worth the read.

This book is about math, but it doesn't have much math in it. So mostly it's pretty easy to read. It must have been very difficult to write about some complex math ideas for non-mathematicians! For the most part, Strogatz does a good job. There were, however, a few parts where I confess I couldn't be bothered to think hard enough to get through the little bit of math there was and I just skimmed those parts. ;) Other times, I felt that Strogatz lingered too long over an easy point. It's probably...more

“Looking at numbers as groups of rocks may seem unusual, but actually it's as old as math itself. The word 'calculate' reflects that legacy -- it comes from the Latin word calculus, meaning a pebble used for counting. To enjoy working with numbers you don't have to be Einstein (German for 'one stone'), but it might help to have rocks in your head.” — 11 likes

“let’s begin with the word “vector.” It comes from the Latin root vehere, “to carry,” which also gives us words like “vehicle” and “conveyor belt.” To an epidemiologist, a vector is the carrier of a pathogen, like the mosquito that conveys malaria to your bloodstream. To a mathematician, a vector (at least in its simplest form) is a step that carries you from one place to another.” — 4 likes
