Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart

Overview How can a football coach evaluate a player without ever seeing him play? Want to know whether the price of an airline ticket will go up or down before buying? How can a formula out predict wine experts in determining the best vintages? "Super Crunchers" have the answers. In this brave new world of equation versus expertise, the presenter shows the benefits and risks, who lose and who wins and how super crunching can be used. Gone are the days of solely relying on intuition to make decisions. No businessperson, consumer, or student who wants to stay ahead of the curve should make another keystroke without reading Super Crunchers.
