In the book “(Un)Perfect Coincidence. How Chance Rules Our Life,” Mlodinov easily introduces readers to probability theory, the theory of random wandering, scientific and applied statistics, the history of the development of these all-encompassing theories, and also what role chance, regularity, and the inevitable confusion between them play in our everyday life.
This book is a great way to refresh your knowledge and shake off the dust of high mathematics, the history of natural science, astronomy, and statistics—for those who studied these wonderful disciplines at universities; it explains clearly and accessibly the fundamentals of probability theory and its applicability to everyday circumstances (with many examples) for those who didn’t have the chance to study them specially; and finally, it provides a professional and friendly companion for the reader who, at the moment, is gnawing at the granite of those sciences.
