Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -As a student I discovered in our library a thin booklet by Frederick Mosteller entitled50 Challenging Problems in Probability. Itreferredtoas- plementary ¿regular textbook¿ by William Feller, An Introduction to Pro- bilityTheoryanditsApplications.SoItookthisonealong,too,andstartedon the rst of Mosteller¿s problems on the train riding home. From that evening, I caught on to probability. These two books were not primarily about abstract formalisms but rather about basic modeling ideas and about ways ¿ often extremely elegant ones ¿ to apply those notions to a surprising variety of empirical phenomena. Essentially, these books taught the reader the skill to ¿think probabilistically¿ and to apply simple probability models to real-world problems. The present book is in this tradition; it is based on the view that those cognitive skills are best acquired by solving challenging, nonstandard pro- bility problems. My own experience, both in learning and in teaching, is that challenging problems often help to develop, and to sharpen, our probabilistic intuition much better than plain-style deductions from abstract concepts.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 140 pp. Englisch.…
