A Mathematician Reads the NewspaperJohn Allen Paulos is a master at shedding mathematical lights on our everyday world: What exactly did Lani Guinier say about quotas? What is the probability of identifying a murderer through DNA testing? Which are the real risks to our health and which the phony ones? Employing the same fun filled, user friendly, and quirkily insightful approach that put Innumeracy on best seller lists, Paulos now leads us through the pages of the daily newspaper,
John Allen Paulos is a master at shedding mathematical lights on our everyday world: What exactly did Lani Guinier say about quotas?What is the probability of identifying a murderer through DNA testing?Which are the real risks to our health and which the phony ones?Employing the same fun-filled, user-friendly, and quirkily insightful approach that put Innumeracy on best-seller lists, Paulos now leads us through the pages of the daily newspaper, revealing the hidden mathematical angles of countless articles. From the Senate, the SATs, and sex to crime, celebrities, and cults, Paulos takes stories that may not seem to involve mathematics at all and demonstrates how mathematical na t (c)an put readers at a distinct disadvantage.Whether he's using chaos theory to puncture economic and environmental predictions, applying logic and self-reference to clarify the hazards of spin doctoring and news compression, or employing arithmetic and common sense to give us a novel perspective on greed and relationships, Paulos never fails to entertain and enlighten.Even if you hated math in school, you'll love the numerical vignettes in this book.Binding Type: Paperback

The fit is perfect and is a sold mounting system
Custom fit for 2022 Tacoma, fit exactly. Very sturdy mount and took seconds to install. All metal with the exception of a adjustment knob. Quality hardware. More expensive than a lot of mounts but most are cheap plastic and are not nearly as solid and sturdy as the Offroam.

FINALLY a decent phone mount!!!
I’ve tried about 5 different phone mounts in my 2018 Tacoma and ended up throwing them all away. They’re either too bulky, too weak to hold the phone, awkward or just won’t stay in place. I won’t install a holder that requires adhesive or screws into the dash (or anywhere) in my truck. This holder is the answer. Fits perfectly, doesn’t damage your vehicle. Holds the phone really solidly. This is a very sturdy mount.
It’s a bit pricy in comparison to other phone mounts out there. IMO, it’s worth every penny. Materials are far superior to your typical mount, which I’m sure drives up the manufacturing costs. Again, worth every penny. Also, it’s a small business based in the US. Love supporting our small businesses.
GREAT MOUNT!!!

This is it
For the longest time I’ve STRUGGLED with finding a mount the works in my Tacoma. I don’t do off reading but every mount I use just can’t hang!! I got this and immediately impressed with the build quality. It’s entirely metal and can tell it’s sturdy. It took me 1 minute to install and the give you the one tool you need to install. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max that baby isn’t going anywhere. You can adjust it with out unscrewing anything and it stays put. If you have a Tacoma stop wasting money on cheap mounts this is the last one you need I promise you
