"The Mathematics of Games : An Introduction to Probability takes an inquiry-based approach to teaching the standard material for an introductory probability course. It also discusses different games and ideas that relate to the law of large numbers, as well as some more mathematical topics not typically found in similar books. The book uses questions about various games (not just casino games) to motivate the mathematics. The author explains the examples in detail and offers ample exercises to practice the skills of the students. This text gives the students greater understanding of probability." -- Provided by publisher
