| Customer Rating: | | I don't know what to say. The problems here are really interesting. The problems range from very easy ones to very difficult ones. There are problems on variety of prob topics including continuous prob. Some of the problems are very hard to the point you want to pull your hair out. However, it is definitly the best problems I have seen. |
happy with the purchase.
| Customer Rating: | | Interesting book, challenging for anyone who likes to work on math. |
For math lovers
| Customer Rating:  | I got this book because I wanted to strengthen my skills with basic probability as it relates to gaming, gambling and trading.
In some areas the problems here were helpful to me, and the solutions are well explained.
In a few areas the problems were way over my head and in areas I either don't understand or am not interested in.
That said, I think anyone with an interest in the subject won't be disappointed with this thin book, except maybe wishing there was a greater variety of problem types, which was one complaint I had, the second was that the solutions were a bit too complicated, which may mean I'm just not smart enough, however, it would have been a bit stronger of a book if it had explained some of the items at a lower level (for us numbskulls).
