Abstract
SIAM Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 205-206, March 2025. The first look at Probability Adventures brought back memories of a conference in Ubatuba, Brazil, in 2001, where as a young Master’s student I worried that true science had to be deadly serious. Fortunately, several inspiring teachers came to the rescue. Andrei Toom’s words resonated deeply with me when he began his lecture by saying, “Every mathematician is a big child.” The esteemed audience beamed with approval. Today, I look at Probability Adventures and applaud Mark Huber for honoring the child in all of us and offering a reading that is both fun and mathematically rigorous.
