My Book Making Probability So Easy That a Lemur Could Learn It

Hacker News

Probability involves a lot of extra-mathematical concepts and funny transforms. I have always had a hard time internalizing it. When I heard a couple years ago that Lemurs are actually capable of abstract math, that gave me a bit of motivation to try to finally conceptualize probability in terms of whole numbers, counts, geometric shapes, basically easy-to-remember mathematical primitives. This book might be interesting to folks interested in predictive science, research, or just anyone who may have taken probability or statistics and might like a refresher on some of the edges of these sometimes tough to nail down concepts. I would love any feedback or questions that anyone may have. Thanks! Patrick Delaney
