What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This book is a joy to read cover to cover. Firstly, it is comprehensive in its treatment of the topics covered; containing interesting combination of techniques and encyclopaedic knowledge (on probability and number generators) that is hard to find in just (at an understandable level) one place elsewhere. … The book is littered with excellent, exciting and accessible … .” (physicsbookreviewer.blogspot.com, January 29, 2025)
