The Science of Cards You Cannot See

This full textbook continues the approach established in Books One and Two. It distinguishes exact card mathematics from uncertain real-world behavior: your range model is a hypothesis, not a claim to know anyone's hidden hand. Includes guided examples, illustrated diagrams, 14 instructional chapters, twelve master hand investigations, chapter exercises and an examination.
