Blackjack literature is replete with all sorts of fine books, including mathematically intensive books based on calculus and calculus-based statistics. Others focus merely on the surface elements of basic probability, skimming past the underlying mathematics almost entirely. Blackjack Mathematics for Non-Mathematicians is different.
In this self-contained volume, the author cleaves to a narrow path that provides genuine mathematical depth while being accessible to those with only a very limited quantitative background. Anyone with a keen mind and a grasp of basic algebra and elementary probability will be able to read and enjoy this book. This group should include anyone with a genuine enthusiasm for number-based games and gambling.
Key Features:
• Is written in an approachable style with minimal mathematical prerequisites.
• Is replete with engaging exercises and examples.
• Includes anecdotes from the author’s own experience as an amateur gambler and professional mathematician.
