How we decide by Jonah Lehrer
De La Mettrie’s Ghost: The Story of Decisions by Chris Nunn
Flirting with Disaster by Marc Gerstein. How some really terrible decisions have been made and why. Chapter 2 is about why humans have difficulty with probability.
Risk by Dan Gardner. Explores the ‘gut’ and ‘head’ responses we discussed in Part 1
Practical Management Science by Winston and Albright. This is the third edition. The recommended edition for the class is the fourth edition. But for our purposes this edition is fine. Note that the chapter numbering is not the same as in the course presentation, which is based on the fourth edition. I have the CD. If you need it, please let me know. But I will be posting the datasets as and when necessary.
AND one of your fellow students as found that you can check out the e-version of the course text here:
