Who am I?

John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Free probability textbook

Category: Books
Posted on: July 3, 2006 4:38 PM, by John Lynch

Anti-evolutionists seem to have a special ability to foul up arguments using probability theory and pseudo-mathematicians theologians such as Dembski like to cloak their drivel in the trappings of such theory. So it's always good to refresh yourself on the material covered in those probability classes that you may have forgotten from college. Here, Grinstead and Snell make freely available a copy of their introductory textbook Introduction to Probability. Grab a copy and email one to your favorite creationist.
