Reviews
For folks who are enchanted with television game shows - in particular, The Price is Right - this book presents strategies in a very intelligible style that can be used to improve the odds of winning. Solving The Price is Right also demonstrates the all-too-often-neglected power that understanding probability has in everyday life. Even if you are not planning to be a contestant on this long-running show, Bergner presents logic that can be helpful beyond mathematics. - Alfred S. Posamentier, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus and former dean at The City College of New York, and the author of The Secret Lives of Numbers and The Joy of Geometry among many others.
