I've convinced myself I need to understand probabilistic risk assessment as part of my study of nuclear energy. This title has nothing to do with nuclear energy and not much to do with risk assessment, but it is a good introduction to Monte Carlo simulations, when to use them, and other decision analysis tools. Sort of made me miss the private sector.
