Chance rules our daily lives in many different ways. From the
outcomes of the lottery to the outcomes of medical tests, from the
basketball court to the court of law. The ways of chance are
capricious. Bizarre things happen all the time. Nevertheless,
chance has a logic of its own. It obeys the rules of probability.
But if you open a standard book on probability, you may very well
feel far removed from everyday life. Abstract formulas and
mathematical symbols stare back at you with almost every turn of
the page.This book introduces you to the logic of chance without
the use of mathematical formulas or symbols. In Part One, you will
meet the fascinating pioneers of the mathematics of probability,
including Galileo Galilei and Blaise Pascal. Their stories will
introduce you, step by step, to the basics of probability. In Part
Two, various examples in all areas of daily life will show you how
chance defies our expectations time and again. But armed with the
basic rules of probability and a good dose of inventiveness, you
will be able to unravel the counter-intuitive logic of chance.
