Synopsis

Random processes are fundamental in nature and ubiquitous in our everyday lives, yet most people don't understand them or even give them much thought at all. The Drunkard's Walk will change all that. Leonard Mlodinow explains the laws of randomness and random processes (strings of random events), tells the story of the three revolutions that led to those laws, and examines the evolution of intellectual ideas and assumptions surrounding this intriguing phenomenon.

While being educated and entertained, readers will also achieve new insights into their own daily existences: The Drunkard's Walk shows the connection between the most fundamental in nature and the most common in everyday experience, and gives a deeper understanding of both science and life. Mlodinow captures the reader's imagination and changes the way we perceive the world.
