Riassunto

Can we correctly predict the flip of a fair coin more than half the time — or the decay of a single radioactive atom? Our intuition, based on a lifetime of experience, tells us that we cannot, as these are classic examples of what are known to be 50–50 guesses.

Informazioni sull?autore

James D Stein graduated with a B A in Mathematics in 1962 from Yale and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1967, having put himself through graduate school by working as a computer programmer. He taught for seven years at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) and for 35 at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). After retiring from CSULB, he is currently teaching one course a semester (usually Multivariable Calculus or Differential Equations) at El Camino Community College. He is the author of approximately 40 research papers, most of which are in Banach spaces or fixed-point theory, and 10 books on mathematics and science written for the general public. Two of these books were selections of the Scientific American Book Club. His current areas of interest are probability theory and its application to problems of prediction. Some of the material in The Fate of Schrodinger's Cat deals with the problem of predicting the decay of a radioactive atom, and has appeared within the past two years in physics journals.

Descrizione libreria

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
