Abstract

SIAM Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 205-206, March 2025.
The first look at Probability Adventures brought back memories of a conference in Ubatuba, Brazil, in 2001, where as a young Master’s student I worried that true science had to be deadly serious. Fortunately, several inspiring teachers came to the rescue. Andrei Toom’s words resonated deeply with me when he began his lecture by saying, “Every mathematician is a big child.” The esteemed audience beamed with approval. Today, I look at Probability Adventures and applaud Mark Huber for honoring the child in all of us and offering a reading that is both fun and mathematically rigorous.

书评:;概率的冒险

SIAM评论，67卷，第1期，205-206页，2025年3月。第一次看《概率冒险》让我回想起2001年在巴西乌巴图巴举行的一次会议，当时我还是一名年轻的硕士研究生，我担心真正的科学必须是极其严肃的。幸运的是，几位鼓舞人心的老师前来救援。安德烈·图姆在演讲开始时说：“每个数学家都是一个大孩子。”这句话让我产生了深刻的共鸣。受人尊敬的听众露出赞许的笑容。今天，我看着《概率冒险》，为马克·休伯向我们所有人的童心致敬，为我们提供了一本既有趣又数学严谨的读物。
