The chapt are all quit different, with a smattering of fairly challenging mathematics, although not mufh of the form of equations. Being a non-mathematician, as interesting and non-mathematical the book topics were, the discussion on topics involved some pretty heavy maths. <br/><br/>The chapter on th analysis of wars and the chapter on generation of random numbers were most interesting. On the whole, quitqn enlighting book....definitely not to read in one sitting.
