Annotation
Written in a style that combines his wit as a stand-up comic with his knowledge as Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, this book will appeal to puzzle and math lovers as well as probability neophytes and math phobes. Berger opens each chapter with an obvious statement followed by a surprise that will keep you reading to find out how it could be true. Topics include statistics, numbers, geometry, the fourth dimension, and infinity.
