The coin toss is really just a metaphor for a random event that has only two possible outcomes. The actual tossing of a real coin is just one way to realize such an event. There are many examples of questions that are equivalent to a coin toss. For example: Will the stock market close up or down tomorrow? Will a die roll come up with an even or odd number? Will we make contact with extraterrestrials within the next ten years? Will a car drive by in the next minute? Will tomorrow be sunny or cloudy? Will my medical test result be negative or positive? Will I enjoy this movie? Will the next joke be funny? Will the Earth's average temperature go up next year?Because a coin toss is equivalent to such a wide variety of questions, the results in this book are widely applicable.Because the coin toss is the simplest random event you can imagine, many questions about coin tossing can be asked and answered in great depth. The simplicity of the coin toss also opens the road to more advanced probability theories dealing with events with an infinite number of possible outcomes.This book is very mathematical. Some knowledge of calculus, discrete math, and generating functions is helpful to get the most out of it. A review of discrete math is provided in the index,

It is 1993. Jill is a sweet young woman of nineteen who is a little overwhelmed by her circumstances. Abandoned by her mother at fifteen when her father developed a debilitating disease, she now goes to nursing school, but only part time since she has to take care of her father and their home. She is in love with Mark, an engineering student about to graduate from college. Jill sees him as someone strong with whom she'll feel secure again.When Jill becomes pregnant, she learns that Mark has a selfish, cruel side. He roughs her up, tells her she's on her own if she doesn't get an abortion, and threatens to destroy her if she comes after him. Jill has the baby, but struggles alone, afraid to try to make Mark take responsibility. Jill's rock of support during this time is Tim, Mark's ex-roommate, with whom Jill develops a deep friendship.When her little boy is a toddler, he becomes ill, but Jill has no health insurance to pay for his surgery. Desperate, she tries to contact Mark through his family to see if he'll help. Mark refuses and threatens her again, but because of the phone call, his family learns that he has a son. They step in to help Jill, and force Mark to start paying child support, something which benefits Jill, but also causes a drastic consequence later on.Also as a result of the contact with Mark's family, Jill develops a relationship with his older brother, Matt, whose chivalry often results in him seeming overbearing. He also has difficulty with the fact that his brother is the man in Jill's past.The book details the twists and turns in Jill's relationships with Tim and Matt, and the sometimes dramatic events that punctuate her life. An underlying theme of this, and of the book's conclusion is that of self-discovery and inner strength. Another theme is that simple, apparently inconsequential events, such as a coin toss between two young men in a bar, may actually have long lasting repercussions.

Inspired by a true story, a journey of hope and expectation turns to despair, separating two young brothers by continents, each alone to find his place in the world. One lands in a world of greed, crime and deceit making choices on instinct often resulting in danger. War and oppression test his instincts but he remains focused on what he believes and achieves his dream. The other's path leads him to friends who inspire and challenge him with a vision of the future. He earns the respect of his mentors as he builds his life, making grave decisions to maintain respect for his family name. Their sense of pride and ancestry sustains them through years of desperation and joy, disappointment and accomplishment as they strive to become the men to make their father proud.

In nineteen thirty-seven the Monte Carlo gambling ship runs aground in a storm off the Californian coast and a hundred thousand dollars-worth of gold and silver coins belonging to the Mafia go missing. But how did the coins turn up hidden in a house sixteen years later? In the mind of a private detective the coins seem inextricably linked to the brother of a young woman client. He went missing at the same time. It's a cold case, but things get hot when the boss of the LA mob steps in and demands the return of the coins. And things get even more complicated for the detective when a new client insists that the cops want him to swing for the murder of his wife even though he and his gun were fifty miles away at the time of the killing. And he's got witnesses. The problem is that the pursuit of the truth can often create its own victims. The question becomes: is the truth worth it when it's all down to the toss of a coin.
