Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Our everyday life is in?uenced by many unexpected (dif?cult to predict) events usually referred as a chance. Probably, we all are as we are due to the accumulation point of a multitude of chance events. Gambling games that have been known to human beings nearly from the beginning of our civilization are based on chance events. These chance events have created the dream that everybody can easily become rich. This pursuit made gambling so popular. This book is devoted to the dynamics of the mechanical randomizers and we try to solve the problem why mechanical device (roulette) or a rigid body (a coin or a die) operating in the way described by the laws of classical mechanics can behave in such a way and produce a pseudorandom outcome. During mathematical lessons in primary school we are taught that the outcome of the coin tossing experiment is random and that the probability that the tossed coin lands heads (tails) up is equal to 1/2. Approximately, at the same time during physics lessons we are told that the motion of the rigid body (coin is an example of suchabody)isfullydeterministic. Typically,studentsarenotgiventheanswertothe question Why this duality in the interpretation of the simple mechanical experiment is possible? Trying to answer this question we describe the dynamics of the gambling games based on the coin toss, the throw of the die, and the roulette run. This book is devoted to the dynamics of the mechanical randomizers and we try to solve the problem why mechanical device (roulette) or a rigid body (a coin or a die) operating in the way described by the laws of classical mechanics can behave in such a way and produce a pseudorandom outcome.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book contains the lectures given at the Second Conference on Dynamics and Randomness held at the Centro de Modelamiento Matematico of the Universidad de Chile, from December 9-13, 2003. This meeting brought together mathematicians, theoretical physicists, theoretical computer scientists, and graduate students interested in fields related to probability theory, ergodic theory, symbolic and topological dynamics. The courses were on: -Some Aspects of Random Fragmentations in Continuous Times; -Metastability of Ageing in Stochastic Dynamics; -Algebraic Systems of Generating Functions and Return Probabilities for Random Walks; -Recurrent Measures and Measure Rigidity; -Stochastic Particle Approximations for Two-Dimensional Navier Stokes Equations; and -Random and Universal Metric Spaces. The intended audience for this book is Ph.D. students on Probability and Ergodic Theory as well as researchers in these areas. The particular interest of this book is the broad areas of problems that it covers. We have chosen six main topics and asked six experts to give an introductory course on the subject touching the latest advances on each problem. This book contains the lectures given at the II Canference an Dynamics and Randamness held at the Centro de Modelamiento Matematico of the Universidad de Chile, from December 9th to 13th, 2002. This meeting brought together mathematicians, theoretical physicists, theoretical computer scientists, and graduate students interested in fields related to probability theory, ergodic theory, symbolic and topological dynamics. We would like to express our gratitude to an the participants of the conference and to the people who contributed to its orgaA nization. In particular, to Pierre Collet, BerIiard Rost and Karl Petersen for their scientific advise. We want to thank warmly the authors of each chapter for their stimulating lectures and for their manuscripts devoted to a various of appealing subjects in probability and dynamics: to Jean Bertoin for his course on Some aspects of random fragmentation in conA tinuous time; to Anton Bovier for his course on Metastability and ageing in stochastic dynamics; to Steve Lalley for his course on AIA gebraic systems of generat ing functions and return probabilities for random walks; to Elon Lindenstrauss for his course on Recurrent measures and measure rigidity; to Sylvie Meleard for her course on Stochastic particle approximations for two-dimensional N avierA Stokes equations; and to Anatoly Vershik for his course on Random and universal metric spa Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
