Description

Book Synopsis
Illustrates how simple observations can be made the starting point of rich and fruitful theories and how the same theme recurs in seemingly unrelated disciplines. Mark Kac conveyed his infectious enthusiasm for mathematics and its applications in his lectures, papers, and books. Two of his papers won Chauvenet awards for expository excellence.

Trade Review
Terrific, friendly and profound."" - Persi Diaconis

""This is a splendid book. It ranges from the primitive idea of statistical independence to applications of the most diverse sort: coin-tossing, anharmonic oscillations, prime numbers, and continued fractions. And it does all that with Kac.s customary clarity and charm. Every friend of probability should have it."" - Henry McKeon
