The most relevant kind of math here is that of probability and statistics, and in informally describing it Stewart spends a goodly portion (but less than half) of this book, giving the Bayesian point of view its fair share of attention. He then moves on to discussions of jurisprudence, thermodynamics, chaos theory, meteorology, medical trials and diagnoses, economics and finance, neuroscience, and quantum physics. The last of these discussions includes a most noteworthy idea: "More recent work [than John Bell's theorem] suggests that certain types of chaotic dynamics might, in principle, offer a deterministic mechanism that underlies quantum uncertainty. ... [I]f chaos had been discovered before quantum theory, a deterministic view might have become the orthodox one." (p 224) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Bestselling author Professor Ian Stewart explores the history and mathematics of uncertainty. Touching on gambling, probability, statistics, financial and weather forecasts, censuses, medical studies, chaos, quantum physics, and climate, he makes one thing clear: a reasonable probability is the only certainty.
