Review
A rambling collection of essays. 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.
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.
