I have not read the randomness book. A book that seems to be in the same vein as that one is Group Theory in the Bedroom by Brian Hayes http://daariga.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/group-theory-in-the-bedroom/
I read it a few years ago and enjoyed the analogies and historical backgrounds the author provides. I seem to have now forgotten a lot of the cool stuff from the book. Time to find it and read it again :-) Regards, ~ash On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 12:31, Bharat Shetty <[email protected]> wrote: > Amen to the first book Ashwin suggested.
