Editorial Reviews

Review

"This follow-up to the popular Guesstimation offers more on the joy of mathematical estimation, and inspiration for the budding analyst." ― Nature

"The books do a wonderful job at helping the reader to master the craft." ―
Cut the Knot Insights

"A delightful volume. . . . I hope to be able to use many of the tricks I learned in the future. I also hope to teach some of them to students. This would make a great secondary textbook in many classes, ranging from quantitative literacy to a science methods class for future educators. A careful study of this book would certainly improve a student's ability to take a complicated question, break it down into solvable parts, and assemble the parts to find an answer. Because this is quite close to what I want my students to do when faced with a difficult problem in pure mathematics as well, I consider this to be a very valuable book indeed."
---Dominic Klyve, MAA Reviews

"
Guesstimation 2.0: Solving Today's Problems on the Back of a Napkin succeeds where most popular science literature so often fails. This is because it provides its readers with a scientific tool they can use immediately in their everyday lives. . . . [Makes] an excellent addition for the casual scientist, job interviewee, or anyone hoping to impress their friends at a party."---Gabriel Thoumi, Mongabay.com

"Readers who enjoyed Weinstein's first volume will be pleased with this instalment." ―
Choice

"
Guesstimation 2.0 is a book that was made to mediate between fun and useful. . . . Whether or not a fan of numbers, it's always cool to appear smart, therefore Guesstimation 2.0 is an excellent element to add to one's arsenal."---Sarthak Shankar, Organiser

"Certainly a good read for any teacher who enjoys numbers and the world around us."
---Mark Hughes, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School

"
Guesstimation's problems are fun and engaging in character, and the solutions are intuitive and well explained. Each problem and solution stands independently, and is about four pages long, making the book ideal for passing a quick ten minutes, and easy to pick up and put down. If, like me, you like ill-posed questions to have concrete answers then Guesstimation is definitely a good place to hone your estimation skills!"---Fionntan Roukema, Mathematical Spectrum

Review

"This is an absolutely great book, a worthy sequel to Guesstimation. The breadth of scope of the problems is truly impressive. Weinstein's arguments are always convincing and, in many cases, very clever. His sense of humor provides a pain-free tutorial on how analysts can make real progress in understanding vaguely defined problems."―Paul J. Nahin, author of Number-Crunching: Taming Unruly Computational Problems from Mathematical Physics to Science Fiction

"
Guesstimation 2.0 is an entertaining read, with the added attraction that it can be consumed in small portions by opening it on almost any page. I can easily see having this book close by and returning to it again and again."―Mark Levi, author of Why Cats Land on Their Feet: And 76 Other Physical Paradoxes and Puzzles
