Do Dice Play God? The Mathematics of Uncertainty by Ian Stewart - USED

Uncertainty is everywhere - from the weather to the economy - and even numbers we think we know such as populations could be wrong. It's no wonder that, throughout history, we have attempted to define, understand and limit uncertainty- we prefer the surprise party to the surprise asteroid. Touching on gaming, probability, statistics, financial and weather forecasts, censuses, medical studies, chaos, quantum physics and climate, Ian Stewart makes one thin clear: a reasonable probability is the only certainty.
