Mathematics of life. Simple algorithms for making correct decisions. Christian B.

Do you know what is common between the choice of a new apartment, the search for a life partner and the sale of housing? It is important not to cheat and live happily and happily. How to do this with the highest possible guarantee of success? The answer is “Rule 37%”, which allows you to find the optimal balance between the time spent in search and the ultimate benefit. And how to deal with a pile of things in the closet or quickly place a family library after moving through the alphabet? Algorithm for caching data to help you! Well, if you are tormented by the guests of the guests at the wedding banquet, the relaxation method is your salvation. Even if none of the terms mentioned above is familiar to you, do not be discouraged and be sure to read the book of journalist Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths. In their opinion, programmers and mathematicians have long developed algorithms that allow computers to find the optimal solution at a given time and with minimal expenses of forces and means. The authors believe that we just need to use these achievements, and popularly explain how to use complex mathematical algorithms to solve everyday problems, successfully avoiding science and excessive simplification in their explanations.
