Understanding Uncertainty

This book discusses, in simplistic detail, the logic of uncertainty, its truths and falsehoods.

The object of the book is to explain what has been accomplished in the twentieth century about uncertainty.

Given that there are three rules to obey, craftily laid out in the book, author Dennis Lindley rationalizes that any study of the topic can be handled with as much confidence as ordinary logic. "Understanding Uncertainty" equips readers with the skill to appreciate an uncertain situation and judge whether another person, lawyer, politician, scientist, or journalist is talking sense, posing the right questions, or obtaining sound answers.

Some mathematical maturity is helpful.
