Recenzii
'Reasoning about Luck uses no mathematics beyond basic algebra and geometry. It is unusually well written, and the author's dry sense of humour considerably increased my pleasure in reading it … would be a superb choice for an upper-division honors seminar aimed at students from all the sciences or as supplementary reading in an undergraduate course in modern physics … In thinking carefully about the minimum knowledge of physics that an educated citizen should have, Ambegaokar has made a real contribution to the discussion. In addition, he has produced a thoroughly enjoyable physics book.' Ruth Howes Physics Today
Descriere
Major undergraduate physics textbook, with a unique approach for a new type of course.
