From Monopoly to Backgammon to Yahtzee, our first experiences with board games almost always feature sets of six-sided dice. They’re a great way to create some randomness and chaos in a game, but ...

In school, we are trained to think that math problems always have one correct answer. But this is not necessarily true for problems dealing with probability, if the method used to reach the described ...

This course provides a solid basis for further study in statistics and data analysis or in pattern recognition and operations research. It is especially appropriate for students with an undergraduate ...

We draw attention to some important nonlinear equations commonly arising in applied probability, review some known techniques to compute their minimal nonnegative solutions, propose improved iterative ...

Tackling probability problems before being introduced to the formulas—especially when the problems involve sports—enhances students' understanding of permutation and combination. Journal Information ...
