The mathematics developed ranges from the predictable concepts of probability, expectation, and binomial coefficients to some less well-known ideas of elementary game theory. The second edition includes new material on: Sports betting and the mathematics behind it Game theory applied to bluffing in poker and related to the 'Texas Holdem phenomenon' The Nash equilibrium concept and its emergence in popular culture Internet links to games and Java applets for practice and classroom use. Game-related exercises are included and solutions to some appear at the end of the book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
