Interactive Probability



This project consists of a collection of modules, each based on a  

classical problem or random process of probability theory.  Each  module 

consists of an interactive simulation of the process,  written in Visual 

Basic, and a hypertext discussion of the  corresponding mathematical 

theory, written as a Windows Help File.  The modules are intended to bridge 

the gap between the mathematical  theory and the behavior of real 

processes, and to illustrate the  significance of the parameters of the 

process.  The modules  written so far include Dice, Buffon's Needle, the 

Matching Problem,  Poker, the Ball and Urn Model, the Car and Goat Problem, 

the Poisson  Model, the Galton Board, the Fire Process and the Voter Model.
