Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems

摘要

Wow! Few authors can hope to match the style of this book: clear, entertaining and witty. The reader is immediately motivated to dig deeper. Physicist Richard Feynman famously observed ‘‘What I cannot create, I do not understand.’’ In that spirit, Nahin proposes that the reader experiment with a series of 21 beautifully chosen problems in probability. All the problems arise from everyday life, and most can be solved with a Monte Carlo simulation.
