商品描述

Blackjack literature is replete with all sorts of fine books, including mathematically intensive books based on calculus and calculus-based statistics. Others focus merely on the surface elements of basic probability, skimming past the underlying mathematics almost entirely. Blackjack Mathematics for Non-Mathematicians is different.
In this self-contained volume, the author cleaves to a narrow path that provides genuine mathematical depth while being accessible to those with only a very limited quantitative background. Anyone with a keen mind and a grasp of basic algebra and elementary probability will be able to read and enjoy this book. This group should include anyone with a genuine enthusiasm for number-based games and gambling.

Key Features:

- Is written in an approachable style with minimal mathematical prerequisites.
- Is replete with engaging exercises and examples.
- Includes anecdotes from the author's own experience as an amateur gambler and professional mathematician.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

黑傑克文獻中充滿了各種優秀的書籍，包括基於微積分和微積分統計的數學密集型書籍。其他書籍則僅僅關注基本概率的表面元素，幾乎完全忽略了其背後的數學。《非數學家黑傑克數學》則有所不同。在這本自成一體的書中，作者堅持一條狹窄的道路，提供真正的數學深度，同時對於只有非常有限的定量背景的人來說也能夠理解。任何擁有敏銳思維並掌握基本代數和初級概率的人都能夠閱讀並享受這本書。這個群體應該包括任何對基於數字的遊戲和賭博有真正熱情的人。

主要特點：
- 以易於接近的風格撰寫，數學前提要求最低。
- 充滿引人入勝的練習和範例。
- 包含作者作為業餘賭徒和專業數學家的親身經歷轶事。

作者簡介

Mark Bollman is a Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 120 different courses in his career. Among these courses is "Mathematics of the Gaming Industry," where mathematics majors carefully study the math behind games of chance and travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, in order to compare theory and practice. He has also taken those ideas into Albion's Honors Program in "Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling," which considers gambling from literary, philosophical, and historical points of view as well as mathematically. Mark has also authored Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries, Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games, Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, & Roulette, Basic Gambling Mathematics, and Intermediate Poker Mathematics by CRC Press.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

馬克·博爾曼（Mark Bollman）是美國密歇根州阿爾比恩學院（Albion College）數學系及計算機科學系的教授及系主任，並在其職業生涯中教授了120門不同的課程。其中一門課程是「遊戲產業的數學」（Mathematics of the Gaming Industry），數學專業的學生在這門課中仔細研究機會遊戲背後的數學，並前往內華達州的拉斯維加斯（Las Vegas）以比較理論與實踐。他還將這些理念融入阿爾比恩的榮譽課程「人文學科中的重大議題：賭博的視角」（Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling），該課程從文學、哲學和歷史的角度以及數學的角度考慮賭博。馬克還著有《基諾與彩票的數學》（Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries）、《賭場嘉年華遊戲的數學》（Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games）、《四大賭場桌上遊戲的數學：二十一點、百家樂、骰子遊戲與輪盤》（Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, & Roulette）、《基本賭博數學》（Basic Gambling Mathematics）和《中級撲克數學》（Intermediate Poker Mathematics），均由CRC Press出版。
