Geek Logik: 50 Foolproof Equations for Everyday Life
$12.95
Finally, a book that helps me use math for the really important stuff in life.

In high school I was told that Tom is riding his bicycle North towards Town A into a Southwesterly wind at 13.7 miles an hour. Bill is driving his mother's 56 Chevy towards Town B at a speed of 78 miles a hour with a tailwind of 3.2 miles an hour. Additional variables include: Tom's bike is a pink girl's bike which means he has to either take back roads or submit himself to cruel adolescent taunting; that Bill stole, or took without permission depending on who tells the story, his mother's car; that the Chevy leaks transmission fluid at a rate of 1 quart per 822 miles; that it is a hot Sunday afternoon when the mean temperature is 98 degrees farenheit and the police are all at the park watching the girls sunbath. I was then taught, or at least they tried to teach me, to take the above information and calculate when Tom will arrive in Town A; When Bill will arrive in Town B; what will happen if Bill stops to pick up a 17 year old female blond hitchhicker wearing a tank top and cut off shorts; the probability that Tom will receive a merciless beating from the members of the football team; if Bill will get arrested for stealing the car; and what color shirts they were wearing.

I purchased Geek Logik: 50 Foolproof Equations for Everyday Life by Garth Sundem for the entertainment value. However, I find that in addition to being a quirky fun read, it is also a valuable reference book. I am finding myself coming up with ways to calculate all the really important stuff.

For instance, if I stop on the way to work for coffee, what is the probability that my boss will be mad at me that I am late and/or appreciative because I got a latte for her?

Or how long can I let my gras grow before my neighbors become irreconcilably hostile, form an angry mob, and attack me as I read in the hammock in the back yard?

Or, how many beers can I have without crossing the line between "life of the party" and "cautionary tale"?

This book gives you the tools to get the really important information that you can actually use in real life that is never covered in any high school math classes. !!
