E-book Title: UNDERSTANDING AND CALCULATING THE ODDS: Probability Theory Basics and Calculus Guide for Beginners, with Applications in Games of Chance and Everyday Life
Author: Catalin Barboianu
Book Description: Man's daily life is full of decisional situations. Whether we have math skills or not, we often estimate and compare probabilities, sometimes without realizing it, especially once
devising decisions. But probabilities are not simply simple amount attached objectively or subjectively to events, as they possibly look, and their calculus and usage is extremely
susceptible
to analysis
or quantitative errors in the absence of proper knowledge.
That is why a book explaining the probability conception and its interpretations and applications for non-mathematicians is a necessity.
This is an enlightening journey through the earth of probability theory. Its multiple goals are to help the reader understand what probability actually means, to teach the reader how to strictly
perform and apply the probability calculus, even as without a solid mathematical background, and to stimulate the reader to go deeper into the notions involved.
In the 1st part, the author tries to build a clean pictures of the probability conception by reconstructing its mathematical definition step by step through its constituent notions. It starts with a general presentation of the abstract
ensemble word - definition - notion - model any theory is based on once
trying to reproduce reality. Then, the probability notion is defined and explained starting from the classical definition to the definition for the denumerable case; then probability is bestowed as a limit and as a measure.
This book presents not only the mathematical conception of probability, but besides its philosophical aspects, the theory of relativity of probability and its applications and even as the psychological science of probability.
All explanations are ready-made in a accessible manner and are supported with suggestive examples from nature and daily life and even as with challenging math paradoxes.
After these points are set out the math chapter follows. It contains all the notions and principal theoretical results that ground Probability Theory.More... | |
