Description
Life is full of uncertainty-- indeed, scientific advances indicate that the universe might be fundamentally inexact-- and humans are terrible at guessing. Stewart reveals that, over the course of history, mathematics has given us some of the tools we need to better manage the uncertainty that pervades our lives. From forecasting, to medical research, to figuring out how to win Let's Make a Deal, he provides a tour of what we can know, and what we never will. -- adapted from jacket
