About this listen

Nos han enseñado que el atajo no es recomendable, que es un recurso tramposo, la treta del holgazán. No obstante, para Marcus du Sautoy es una táctica legítima: en las matemáticas, el reino del pensamiento estratégico que emula la lógica de la naturaleza, el atajo nos proporciona la solución de un problema en el menor tiempo y con el menor gasto de energía posibles.

No es casualidad que debamos gran parte de lo que llamamos progreso a los «perezosos» que resolvieron los grandes desafíos de la existencia: desde las técnicas constructivas de las primeras ciudades hasta el cálculo infinitesimal aplicado a la ingeniería renacentista, pasando por los algoritmos informáticos que hoy en día nos hacen la vida más fácil.

Este ameno e iluminador audiolibro nos enseña que la capacidad de dar con enfoques innovadores nos diferencia del más eficiente de los ordenadores y que el arte del atajo es fundamental para resolver de forma creativa los retos de la vida cotidiana.
