From NPR's "Math Guy" comes the engaging tale of Blaise Pascal, Pierre de Fermat, and their 17th-century correspondence that created the field of probability. Devlin reveals probability's remarkable impact on the modern world: from insurance rates to housing and job markets to the safety of cars and planes.
