商品描述
There are thousands of books relating to poker, blackjack, roulette and baccarat, including strategy guides, statistical analysis, psychological studies, and much more. However, there are no books on Pell, Rouleno, Street Dice, and many other games that have had a short life in casinos
While this is understandable -- most casino gamblers have not heard of these games, and no one is currently playing them -- their absence from published works means that some interesting mathematics and gaming history are at risk of being lost forever. Table games other than baccarat, blackjack, craps, and roulette are called carnival games, as a nod to their origin in actual traveling or seasonal carnivals.
Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games is a focused look at these games and the mathematics at their foundation.
Features
- Exercises, with solutions, are included for readers who wish to practice the ideas presented
- Suitable for a general audience with an interest in the mathematics of gambling and games
- Goes beyond providing practical 'tips' for gamblers, and explores the mathematical principles that underpin gambling games
商品描述(中文翻譯)
有關撲克、二十一點、輪盤和百家樂的書籍有成千上萬本，包括策略指南、統計分析、心理研究等等。然而，關於 Pell、Rouleno、街頭骰子以及許多其他在賭場中短暫存在的遊戲卻沒有任何書籍。
雖然這是可以理解的——大多數賭場賭徒未曾聽說過這些遊戲，且目前也沒有人在玩它們——但它們在出版作品中的缺失意味著一些有趣的數學和遊戲歷史可能會永遠消失。除了百家樂、二十一點、擲骰子和輪盤之外的桌上遊戲被稱為嘉年華遊戲，以致敬於它們源自實際的旅行或季節性嘉年華。
《賭場嘉年華遊戲的數學》是對這些遊戲及其基礎數學的深入探討。
特色
- 包含練習題及其解答，供希望練習所提出概念的讀者使用
- 適合對賭博和遊戲數學感興趣的一般讀者
- 超越提供賭徒的實用“提示”，探索支撐賭博遊戲的數學原則
作者簡介
Mark Bollman is Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 113 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 Basic Gambling Mathematics: The Numbers behind The Neon and Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
馬克·博爾曼是位於密歇根州阿爾比恩的阿爾比恩學院數學系及計算機科學系的數學教授，並擔任系主任。在他的職業生涯中，他教授了113門不同的課程。其中一門課程是「遊戲產業的數學」，數學專業的學生在這門課中仔細研究機率遊戲背後的數學，並前往內華達州的拉斯維加斯，以比較理論與實踐。他還將這些理念融入阿爾比恩的榮譽課程「人文學科中的重大議題：賭博的視角」，該課程從文學、哲學和歷史的角度以及數學的角度考慮賭博。馬克還著有《基本賭博數學：霓虹燈背後的數字》和《基諾與彩票的數學》。
