Chances Are . . .: Adventures in Probability Tapa blanda - 2007
de Michael Kaplan; Ellen Kaplan
Combining philosophical and historical background, "Chances Are" is a lay person's journey into the realm of probability--from poker to politics, weather to war, Monte Carlo to mortality. Illustrations.
Resumen
A compelling journey through history, mathematics, and philosophy, charting humanity’s struggle against randomness
Our lives are played out in the arena of chance. However little we recognize it in our day-to-day existence, we are always riding the odds, seeking out certainty but settling—reluctantly—for likelihood, building our beliefs on the shadowy props of probability. Chances Are is the story of man’s millennia-long search for the tools to manage the recurrent but unpredictable—to help us prevent, or at least mitigate, the seemingly random blows of disaster, disease, and injustice. In these pages, we meet the brilliant individuals who developed the first abstract formulations of probability, as well as the intrepid visionaries who recognized their practical applications—from gamblers to military strategists to meteorologists to medical researchers, from blackjack to our own mortality.
