Random God or Divine Accident? Mathematics of uncertainty. Stuart I.

We want to be sure - always in everything. We do not need uncertainty. However, it is everywhere: the stock market can suddenly collapse, the climate change, and instead of the desired boy, a girl can be born. And finally, who does not know about the well -known principle of Heisenberg's uncertainty in quantum mechanics? Fortunately, there is also the reverse side of the coin. If uncertainty is used correctly, you can extract a lot of useful things from it. Throughout the history of mankind, mathematics gave effective tools to manage uncertainty and its application in our lives. Which? About this in the new fascinating book of Ian Stuart. For a wide range of readers.
