Uri Bram writes popular non-fiction with a conceptual approach to mathematical, scientific and analytical thinking.

Bram's first book, Thinking Statistically, shows how to use key statistical concepts informally in everyday life: it has been described as an "excellent read about basic statistical issues... very accessible to even those without a math background," "a great introductory primer, a good basis point to go deeper, or a short read that's humorous," and "a small gem, highly recommended."

IS LEARNING TO DRIVE A WASTE OF MONEY?




"Every culture has its coming-of-age rituals. In late 20th-century suburbia, a standard rite was learning to drive. Housebound teenagers would transform into free-range adults the moment they got their licence – at least, whenever Mum let them borrow the car."




My new piece for 1843.

Quotes by Uri Bram  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“the best system is probably one that involves encouraging negative feedback in person: finding subordinates you trust and asking them what other people complain about most; encouraging a “Devil’s Advocate” mentality during projects and meetings; or asking subordinates what the least-best thing about a particular project is (“yes I know you think this project is wonderful. But if you were to think it wasn’t wonderful, what would you think wasn’t wonderful about it?”) Ultimately, your biggest strengths will be your simple awareness that negative feedback must exist in your organisation, and your determination to keep looking for it despite the psychological temptation for positives to be reinforced.”
Uri Bram, Thinking Statistically

“many instances of supervisory madness are not the result of malice or idiocy, but rather genuine unawareness due to impeded data-flows (and resultant sample selection bias).”
Uri Bram, Thinking Statistically

“Selection Bias: basically, that your inferences will be biased if you use a non-random sample and pretend that it’s random.”
Uri Bram, Thinking Statistically
