PROBABILITY WITHOUT TEARS A PRIMER FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS by DEREK ROWNTREE ISBN-10 1-56619-416-4 ISBN-13 9781566194167 In Probability Without Tears Derek Rowntree provides a thorough and painless introduction to a difficult but important discipline – probability. The study of probability began when an eighteenth century gambler started asking questions about the dice that were losing him so much money. Since then, estimating the likelihood of future events has become an indispensable tool in many fields from insurance to industry to medical research. With an informal style and realistic examples, Rowntree presents the basic concepts and terminology needed to understand, work with and use probability theory. Designed for those who have little math background, this concise easy-to-use primer employs a question-and-answer format that allows readers to see, as they go along how well they have mastered the subject.
