Intermediate Poker Mathematics provides a fascinating collection of mathematical questions set in the diverse world of poker. While it is absolutely possible that a poker player will glean some insight that will improve their skill at the table, this book is not intended primarily as a players' strategy manual, but rather as a means of building up readers understanding of the mathematical concepts at play in the complex world of poker. Although the book is suitable for a general audience, it is formatted in the style of a textbook, with exercises included at the end of each chapter to help build understanding.

Mark Bollman is a Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 120 different courses in his career. Among these courses is "Mathematics of the Gaming Industry," where mathematics majors carefully study the math behind games of chance and travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, in order to compare theory and practice. He has also taken those ideas into Albion's Honors Program in "Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling," which considers gambling from literary, philosophical, and historical points of view as well as mathematically. Mark has also authored Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries, Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games, Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, & Roulette, and Basic Gambling Mathematics by CRC Press.
