None of it feels like “doing math.” But under the surface, your mind is quietly sorting, comparing, estimating, and choosing.The Hidden Math of Daily Life: Logic, Choices, and Strategy pulls back the curtain on the ideas that silently guide your everyday decisions—without asking you to love equations, memorize formulas, or relive high school math.In this story-driven book, writer and seasoned tradesman Kevin L. Whitworth shows how the core ideas of discrete mathematics—logic, sets, probability, graphs, algorithms, game theory, and more—are already woven into your day:in the way your phone suggests the “perfect” next videoin how GPS finds a faster route than you ever couldin how banks protect your money and apps protect your passwordsin the choices you make about risk, time, and relationshipsInstead of abstract theory, you’ll get real-world examples, plain language, and practical insights you can use immediately. Inside, you’ll discover how to:Think more clearly under pressureUse simple logical structures to untangle messy situations, spot weak arguments, and avoid talking yourself into bad decisions.Tame overwhelming choicesSee how combinatorics explains “too many options” and how to cut decisions down to size.Use probability for real decisionsJudge warranties, lotteries, insurance, and everyday gambles with more than a gut feeling.See the networks around youUnderstand how graph thinking explains traffic, social media, workplace dynamics, and the spread of ideas.Understand how computers “think”Learn how Boolean logic and stepbystep algorithms turn clicks and swipes into complex digital experiences.©2026 Kevin L Whitworth (P)2026 Kevin L Whitworth
