PROBABILITIES – THE LITTLE NUMBERS THAT RULE OUR LIVE

This book is about those little numbers that we just cannot escape. Try to remember the last day you didn’t hear at least something about probabilities, chance, odds, randomness, risk, or uncertainty. I bet it’s been a while. In this book, I will tell you about the mathematics of such things and how it can be used to better understand the world around you. It is not a textbook though. It does not have little colored boxes with definition or theorems, nor does it contain sections with exercises for you to solve. My main purpose is to entertain you, but it is inevitable that you will also learn a thing or two. There are even a few exercises for you, but they are so subtly presented that you might not even notice until you have actually solved them.
