Description
Book Introduction
"Data Remembers" is a book that shows how statistics have shaped human history from ancient times to the present.
Numbers are not just simple calculations; they are the language that most closely describes our daily lives, and they are embedded in every aspect of our lives, from weather forecasts and health check-up figures to economic indicators and school report cards.
From ancient Egyptian censuses and Roman records, to medieval monastic harvest statistics, to Florence Nightingale's hospital reforms, John Snow's cholera maps, and even the Framingham Heart Study and COVID-19 data, this book vividly illustrates how data has evolved into a tool for understanding and improving people's lives.
Statistics is a key tool in expanding human knowledge, beginning with mathematicians' discoveries of probability and distribution, passing through the hands of scientists studying medicine and social issues, and continuing today with big data and AI.
"Data Remembers" is a book that reminds us that numbers are not just records, but memories.
Hidden within the data are clues that will help us trace our past and prepare for our future path.
This book follows humanity's journey through the flow of statistics, providing insights and wisdom necessary for living in the era of big data and AI.
