Chance



I've had Chance sitting on my bookshelf for awhile, and threw it in to bring along on a whim. It's pretty much basic statistics, clearly and interestingly explained, with real-like examples. While the equations get kind of hard to follow after awhile, the chapters are pretty short, and it's not to hard to keep interested. Funnily enough, one of the chapters mentions Pascal's Triangle, which Julien noticed on the wall of a MAX station in Portland, and somehow Mich didn't recognize (shame...)



Book 87

I remember Pascal's Triangle from trig (geometry?)- although I didn't remember the name for it just now. I had to do an assignment where we got to figure out the formula to create the triangle. That was a fun one! If I sat down and thought about it for awhile, I bet I could still figure it out... :)
