Do Dice Play God?: The Mathematics of Uncertainty by Ian Stewart

4.0

A good overview of the principles of probability and uncertainty with examples drawn from coin tosses, dice and climate versus weather. Statistics, cryptography, quantum physics and gambling are all discussed at length. There's some very good explanations of why weather forecasts are so uncertain while climate change is very certain. There's actually quite a few good examples and analogies to walk you through the basic ideas of mathematical uncertainty.
