Chance is a fundamental aspect of life, influencing everything from molecular interactions to lifespan. Unlike traditional views that see randomness as a complication, the authors present it as an advantage in biological processes. Mark Denny and Steven Gaines introduce probability theory to help readers understand the role of chance in various biological contexts, illustrated through examples like ocean waves and spiderwebs, spanning topics from molecular mechanics to evolutionary biology.
