The Monty Hall problem : the remarkable story of math's most contentious brainteaser / Jason Rosenhouse.

Rosenhouse, Jason. (Author).

Summary:

In this light-hearted yet ultimately serious book, Jason Rosenhouse explores the history of this fascinating puzzle. Using a minimum of mathematics (and none at all for much of the book), he shows how the problem has fascinated philosophers, psychologists, and many others, and examines the many variations that have appeared over the years.
