This book explains the mathematics involved in analyzing games of chance, including casino games, horse racing and other sports, and lotteries. It is also suitable as a textbook for an introductory course on probability. Numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises illustrate the mathematical ideas in a range of casino games.
Mark Bollman is Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 116 different courses in his career. Among these courses is "Mathematics of the Gaming Industry," where mathematics majors carefully study the math behind games of chance and travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, in order to compare theory and practice. He has also taken those ideas into Albion's Honors Program in "Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling," which considers gambling from literary, philosophical, and historical points of view as well as mathematically. Mark has also authored Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries, Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games, and Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, & Roulette.
