This systematic introduction requires no prior familiarity with the subject and a very modest mathematical background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStructured as a textbook, complete with exercises and solutions, it is accessible to a broad readership and suitable for teaching. It will be useful to researchers and students in quantum mechanics, philosophy of science, psychology, computer science, linguistics, and probability theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933933945068,"sku":"9781009671927","price":558.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781009671927-contextuality-in-random-variables.jpg?v=1783885620","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/contextuality-in-random-variables-by-victor-h-cervantes-9781009671927","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
