Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The emphasis is on the mathematics that underlies the game; the intention of is to present the math at a level that is accessible to the educated citizen, one who can handle some algebraic manipulations (perhaps with reminders) but need not know any calculus or advanced statistics.
MoreLong description:
Blackjack literature is replete with all sorts of fine books, including mathematically intensive books based on calculus and calculus-based statistics. Others focus merely on the surface elements of basic probability, skimming past the underlying mathematics almost entirely. Blackjack Mathematics for Non-Mathematicians is different.
In this self-contained volume, the author cleaves to a narrow path that provides genuine mathematical depth while being accessible to those with only a very limited quantitative background. Anyone with a keen mind and a grasp of basic algebra and elementary probability will be able to read and enjoy this book. This group should include anyone with a genuine enthusiasm for number-based games and gambling.
Key Features:
• Is written in an approachable style with minimal mathematical prerequisites.
• Is replete with engaging exercises and examples.
• Includes anecdotes from the author’s own experience as an amateur gambler and professional mathematician.
