pitfalls of Ulrich Frey and John Frey

1999 for $ 320,000,000 a Mars probe (the Mars Climate Orbiter) built - but, unfortunately, expected the software module with the metric, the other with the Anglo-American system, which meant that the orbit of 170 km was set too low, and sang the probe, quietly glowed. Why even smart people continue to make stupid, actually amazingly easy to mistake by looking?

are often not just carelessness or the circumstances of the time responsible, but also the way we think people. On the basis of everyday situations as well as many examples from medicine, engineering and physics, the authors explain in a clear way how human thought and why it is generally prone to error.
Because we humans are part of evolution, the structures have over the millions certain thought processes and proven as the best, in other contexts, especially given the strict methodological requirements of science, but they fail.
However, there are ways and means how to find mistakes that you make again and again, quickly and perhaps even avoid can.
