From the Publisher:
Chance defines our life. Will you get the job, the lover, and the money? Now Amir Aczel, gives readers the tools to minimize, or maximize, chance's effect on their lives. Chance marks Aczel's return to his preferred field: the popularization of mathematics. Here he explores probability theory and its daily, practical applications, while along the way relating stories of inveterate gamblers who also happen to be mathematical geniuses. With the clarity of the statistician he once was, Aczel analyzes what is commonly known as luck. Alongside chapters on The Surprising Birthday Problem, Coincidences, and How to Make Great Decisions are a history of probability theory and anecdotes of its daily applications.
