Course Development for Computer Aided Math

Gamblers Ruin Course Materials

The following will link you to course materials related to a module on the Gamblers ruin problem. This is one of about 12 or so modules that we have been developing for a capstone course in applied problem solving using computers. You can download and use all the materials here for your own personal use, but cannot reprint or reuse any of the materials beyond your own personal use without my permission.
