Paul J. Nahin: Duelling Idiots and Other Probability Puzzlers (Paperback, 2002, Princeton University Press) No rating

Review of 'Duelling Idiots and Other Probability Puzzlers' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

No rating. This is, as billed, a book of puzzlers and problems. Unlike most amusement books, this one requires some higher level math - most probability theory or calculus. Still an interesting read. Written in a time when "source code" was not easily available, so it's printed in several pages in the book instead. I do not agree with others who way this is poorly written - there's no narrative, but it's a book of puzzles! Will read at least one more book by this author - [b:An Imaginary Tale: The Story of "i" the square root of minus one |357209|An Imaginary Tale The Story of "i" the square root of minus one |Paul J.
