What is this page for?

Hello everybody!

I wanted to create this webpage as a sort of study group to go together through the book "Mathematics of Poker" by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman. By creating this study group, not only will I feel pressured to keep up with reading this book, but also the discussion will help everybody tackle the more difficult subjects in this book.

I have a strong mathematical background. My main problem with this book is laziness, I have no problem grasping the technicalities on this subject. So what does a professor usually do, if he/she wants to go into a new subject field? That's right, teach a course on that field. So that's what this study group is about. While it is a lot of discussions, I think there also should be assignments on different chapters. I will also try to present the further stuff on each chapter on this page, so that everybody can join into this discussion.

If you are only reading this after the study group has already started, that's ok. Submit your assignments and get on with the studying. You can always catch up or start new. This is an interesting matter and math is timeless. Sure, computing power gets better, but the techniques behind solving a problem mostly remain the same.

So the most important thing you need for this course is the book "Mathematics of Poker". I've attached a link through my Amazon affiliate page. If you could buy it under this link (The Mathematics of Poker), I would be very thankful. :)
