From Craps to Probability Curves, Montmort's Problem to the St. Petersburg Paradox, this book traces the highways and byways of Dame Fortune in all her aspects. Never was Lady Luck so well portrayed her curves, her vital statistics, her chances and your chances. Warren Weaver gives a practical and readable account of the probability theory and the statistics of chance and shows that fortune luck, chance or probability, whatever you call it, need not be coy or elusive, for reason, logic and the mathematical laws of chance can reduce the odds. The historical background is thoroughly described with a skill that is at once humorous and informative. ---------------------------------------- 298 pages including index ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
