Lotteries and casino games

Mastering the concepts of probability can cast new light on situations in which randomness and chance appear to rule. With an emphasis on why probability works and how it can be applied, Henk Tijms introduces the reader to the world of probability in an informal way. Lotteries and casino games provide a natural source of motivation, and he carefully discusses these with many worked examples to illustrate the key concepts from probability theory. Henk Tijms has been a professor in Operations Research at the Vrije University in Amsterdam since 1976.

This book presents some of the main ideas of game theory. It is designed to serve as a textbook for a one-semester graduate course consisting of about 28 meetings each of 90 minutes. The topics that we cover are those that we personally would include in such a one-semester course. We do not pretend to provide a complete reference book on game theory and do not necessarily regard the topics that we exclude as unimportant. Our selection inevitably reflects our own preferences and interests.
