Description

Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems explores how computers can help solve difficult probability problems. Paul Nahin presents twenty-one challenging but fun problems, ranging from coin-flipping games to the behavior of elevators, and provides solutions and line-by-line walk-throughs in a programming language of your choice.

With an engaging writing style and interesting historical anecdotes, Digital Dice brings these mathematical concepts to life. You'll learn how to write elementary computer codes using any common programming language and gain practical experience solving real-world problems.

This book is ideal for anyone interested in popular math or computer science, offering a unique blend of mathematics, history, and programming. A new preface by the author adds an extra layer of insight into the world of probability and simulation.
