Probability for Scientists

Probability for Scientists is a hands-on, interdisciplinary introduction to probability theory that emphasizes big-picture thinking. Problems are introduced via in-class exploration of physical objects such as coins, dice, and cards. Learn what randomness really looks like, how to read a histogram, and why the normal distribution is so common.
