| Summary, etc | This book is a popular-level introduction to probability and basic statistical ideas, published in English by Mir Publishers in 1988. The book explains core probability concepts (chance, random events, distributions) using intuitive examples and illustrated demonstrations rather than heavy formalism. It aims to make probabilistic thinking accessible to readers who have some mathematical comfort but are not specialists, mixing historical notes with practical problems. Throughout the text the author emphasizes how probability underlies everyday phenomena and scientific reasoning. The volume contains about 190 pages with some color illustrations to clarify examples and concepts. |
