The term does not exist, is a word invented by John Allen Paulos is one of the few existing mathematical popularizers and emphasizes the everyday use of mathematics, use of which often are not aware, to define the mathematical illiteracy in humans.
In his writings he draws the conclusion that in order to make sound decisions in a complex society in which we live we have to think statistically. ANumber man ends up being a barbarian or an exclave.
Paulos comes to refute the fact that there are no coincidences, using simple statistics. For example, states that meeting a group of 23 people or more, there is a 50% chance that two of these people meet the same birthday (not a particular day, but any day). This fact would be considered by some accident or something "significant" for those who want to look for other causes, but is only the conclusion of probability. Using this technique, we can see, quoting the author, "(...) we can say that even rare events are entirely predictable "(p. 78). However, we tend to remember what "casual" or "incredible" for a fact, instead of realizing that is one more possibility among all there is.
aNumber man appears in the following quote:
"You can choose to have some clear notions of mathematics or not having them, but know that if you do not, you're paying much more manipulated than in the opposite case .
All this comes because I have given a share in a tenth of Christmas, is not it likely that this had happened, but I've decided, thanks a friend, embarking on a gamble. To play you have to follow some guidelines that are explained in the blog of Carlos Wings Lead where he explains in this post the requirements to participate, and inviting five bloggers:
One night two years ago, before bed, just when I went to close my eyes because I was so tired eyelids heavy as if made of steel, fear slept with me and took the form of words.
not bear to write them, just thinking about it paralyzed my hands. Terrified I tried to pronounce them and although I took, I got it. Then I tried to read and easy for me cradled in his lap.
found stories of love and hate, fear and courage, daughters and mothers, death and life.
Now in the distance of the passing of the days I was suspended only for a moment.

The book is an allegory of the '90s through which the characters try to survive the failure of their own lives. Each in its own way: the unscrupulous and cunning are mocking the weak and innocent.
But what at first appears to originate as a joke, resulting in unexpected and brutal.
Four characters immersed in a miserable bar and chasing each his "flavor."
