Review & Description

La vida cotidiana está llena de situaciones que exigen tomar decisiones. Y en estos casos comparamos y hacemos estimaciones de probabilidades, a veces casi sin darnos cuenta, especialmente en el momento de decidir. Pero las probabilidades no son números simples asociados objetiva o subjetivamente a los eventos, como nos podría parecer, y el cálculo y el uso que le damos están especialmente proclives a errores cualitativos y cuantitativos, si no se maneja un conocimiento apropiado. Por ello es una necesidad que exista un libro que explique el concepto de probabilidad junto con sus interpretaciones y aplicaciones, dirigido a gente sin conocimientos profundos de matemática. Este libro es un viaje iluminador por el mundo de la teoría de la probabilidad. Su objetivo múltiple es afianzar en el lector una comprensión de lo que realmente significa la probabilidad, enseñarle el manejo y la aplicación rigurosa del cálculo probabilístico, aún cuando carezca de una preparación matemática sólida. Además se le estimula a profundizar en las nociones que la fundamentan. En la primera parte del libro, el autor intenta crear una imagen del concepto de probabilidad mediante la reconstrucción de su definición recorriendo punto por punto las nociones que allí se encuentran. Comenzando por una presentación general del conjunto conceptual palabra - definición - noción - modelo, en el que se sustenta toda teoría cuando se trata de reproducir la realidad. Por eso la noción de probabilidad se define y explica partiendo de la definición clásica hasta la definición del caso numerable; la probabilidad se presenta como un límite y como una medida. Se presenta no solamente el concepto matemático de probabilidad, sino también sus aspectos filosóficos, la relatividad de la probabilidad y sus aplicaciones, y también la psicología de la probabilidad. Todas las explicaciones están hechas de una manera comprensible y se afianzan con ejemplos sugerentes tomados de la naturaleza y de la vida diaria, y hasta también con desafiantes paradojas matemáticas. Luego de dejar en claro estos puntos, se continúa con el capítulo de matemática. Contiene allí todas las nociones y resultados teóricos que son el basamento de la teoría de la probabilidad, partiendo de las nociones fundamentales como conjuntos, funciones, álgebra de Boole, sucesiones y continuando con los fundamentos de la teoría de la medida - tribus - conjuntos de Borel, espacios mensurables y medida, y finalizando con campo de eventos, campos -sigma, probabilidad, probabilidad condicional, variables aleatorias discretas, distribuciones clásicas de la probabilidad, y convergencia. Y por supuesto, se incluyen todos los teoremas importantes y los resultados relevantes. Una sección especial está dedicada a la combinatoria y al cálculo combinatorio. Los lectores sin preparación matemática previa pueden evitar este capítulo porque el material didáctico a lo largo de todo el libro está estructurado para desarrollar la habilidad de hacer cálculos probabilísticos basados en procedimientos algorítmicos. Este es el enfoque del capítulo titulado Guía de Cálculo para el Principiante, en el que se enseña al lector a aplicar las propiedades de la probabilidad y a realizar cálculos para las aplicaciones prácticas. Los conocimientos que se adquieren pueden practicarse en más de 200 problemas resueltos y sin resolver presentados en el libro. Todos tendrán aquí su cuota de interés: los matemáticos y filósofos se concentrarán en los aspectos filosóficos del modelo de la probabilidad y en la toma de decisiones; los estudiantes y los no matemáticos podrán encontrar un material didáctico completo sobre la teoría de la probabilidad y la gente práctica hallará todas las herramientas que se requieren para aplicar y resolver cálculos probabilísticos sin necesidad de un profesor.La vida cotidiana está llena de situaciones que exigen tomar decisiones.

Review & Description

In this extensively revised and expanded second edition of "Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security", Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not. To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury's other books. To improve the student's learning experience, also purchase the student study guide for "Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security" titled "A Bluestocking Guide: Building a Personal Model for Success", which is also available from Amazon.

About Richard J. Maybury
Index

For more on the Economic model, read "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" The clearest and most interesting explanation of economics around. Explains the Austrian economic model, the most free-market of all economic models, and the one that is most in agreement with the ethical principles on which America was founded.

For more on the Legal model, read "Whatever Happened to Justice?" Explains the common law model. Underlying common law are two basic rules: 1) do all that you agreed to do and 2) do not encroach on other persons or their property. Maybury says, "In my opinion, you and your family and friends will avoid a lot of trouble, and find success of every kind easier to achieve, if you adopt these two models, Austrian economics and common law."

Although some historians believe the Olympic Games started more than 3,200 years ago, their first certifiable date begins in 776 B.C. when Greek calendars started to measure time by Olympiads, the four year periods between celebrations. Now they are the world’s most popular series of athletic competitions.
