Probability by Darrell P Rowbottom

Probability by Darrell P Rowbottom

When a doctor tells you there's a one percent chance that an operation will result in your death, or a scientist claims that his theory is probably true, what exactly does that mean? Understanding probability is clearly very important, if we are to make good theoretical and practical choices.

"This is a remarkable book in that, while using the absolute minimum of mathematics, it manages to explain all the main views in the philosophy of probability clearly and accuratelyIndeed it covers some recent approaches on which active research is taking place at the moment."
Donald Gillies, University College London

"Easy and fun to read, this book is a thought-provoking introduction to a wide range of important theories and issues about the nature of probability."
Timothy Williamson, University of Oxford
