Book 14. The Signal and the Noise

If you are a stats geek like me, this is a fascinating and informative read. Have you ever wondered why earthquakes are so hard to predict? Or, what do pandemics and hurricanes have in common? What is the difference between a linear and a logarithmic progression, and why does that matter when calculating margins of error? What kind of odds does a professional poker player have to figure in her head? And why Gary Kasparov shouldn’t have resigned against Deep Blue? It’s all in this book and more.
