Uncertainty is everywhere. It lurks in every consideration of the future - the
weather, the economy, the sex of an unborn child - even quantities we think that we
know such as populations or the transit of the planets contain the possibility of
error. It's no wonder that, throughout that history, we have attempted to produce
rigidly defined areas of uncertainty.

However, over the centuries pioneering mathematicians and scientists began to reduce
wild uncertainties to tame distributions of probability and statistical inferences.
But, even as unknown unknowns became known unknowns, our pessimism made us believe
that some problems were unsolvable and our intuition misled us. Worse, as we realised
how omnipresent and varied uncertainty is, we encountered chaos, quantum mechanics,
and the limitations of our predictive power.  

Best-selling author Professor Ian Stewart explores the history and mathematics of
uncertainty. Touching on gambling, probability, statistics, financial and weather
forecasts, censuses, medical studies, chaos, quantum physics, and climate, he makes
one thing clear: a reasonable probability is the only certainty.
