What to do to shed a light to fractals, network theory, and common mental weakness in investor behavior? Are there methods for investment actually exceeded the major indices? A deeper understanding of mathematics can help beat the odds?

All these issues are devoted to scholarships, research that a newspaper Paulos Mathematician and Innumeracy read favorite chair with both mathematicians and readers how think, want.
