Leslie M Golden, PhD, an astronomer, professor, software developer, cruise ship lecturer, animal welfare and environmental activist, actor, musician, bandleader, stand-up comic, playwright, novelist, cartoonist, gambling columnist, and professional blackjack player, presents entertaining yet authoritative essays on intriguing concepts in mathematics as well as potentially lucrative essays on blackjack, roulette, and craps. You'll feel your intellect massaged and your funny-bone tickled as you read about such subjects as math literacy, logical errors, matrix cryptology, the Fibonacci sequence, the Golden Rectangle, and the economic cost of stupid laws. You'll be casino-empowered as you learn about lotteries, how dice are loaded, the Magic Circle strategy for roulette, the Golden Diagram system for blackjack, and effective acting techniques to camouflage the fact that you are a card counter at blackjack. As a bonus, Dr Golden presents some of his favorite math and logic puzzles, with their solutions. As an extra bonus, Les Golden, the stand-up comic and cartoonist, presents some of his favorite math jokes and cartoons. In short, Venusian Casino Junkets is the perfect coffee table book or gift.
