The Mathematics of Voting and Elections的书评。對於數學愛好者,這書表現了如何去建立數學模型,解釋政治制度內的現象。一切由投票制度開始。甚麼是投票制度?用甚麼準則來衡量投票制度是否公平?它以一些特例,配以問題,令讀者明白這些定義、制度並非數學家...
Seif proposed that elections be decided by a coin toss if the voting is very close, thereby avoiding litigious disputes over the exact vote count. While the problem of counting votes is not exactly an instance of Buridan's Principle, the flaw in his scheme will be obvious to anyone familiar...
While the basic idea of voting is fairly universal, the method by which those votes are used to determine a winner can vary. Amongst a group of friends, you may decide upon a movie by voting for all the movies you’re willing to watch, with the winner being the one with the greatest...

States (Hirano and Jr., 2007), voting for non-competitive third-party candidates still occurs as an expression of cynicism or distrust with the the larger political system (Peterson and Wrighton, 1998), often times at levels that sway the results of major elections (Allen and Brox, 2005)....

Along with this, an entire industry of apps has sprung up that promise to help students practice mathematics facts, although I have many criticisms about those as well (and it has nothing to do with whether they are “fun.”) Dr. Oakley clearly has a position to push, but the problem ...
There is evidence to suggest that communication via the chat feature generated some of the voting and also some of the ethical voting. 1. Introduction The paradox of voter turnout, wherein observed turnout rates in elections are far greater than what is predicted under rational choice theory, ...
James Paehas come up with an excellent answer to “when am I ever going to use that in real life?” by performing a detailed study of whether it’s true thatthe closer the shop to the Paris Métro, the worse the kebab. Since we’re lining up the triumphs of mathematics: apparently ...
