Mark Bollman is Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 105 different courses in his career. For many he has years taught a first-year seminar at Albion called "Chance", which he describes as probability and statistics for the educated citizen , and includes a careful treatment of the mathematics behind games of chance. He has also taken those ideas into Albion's Honors Program in "Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling", which considers gambling from literary, philosophical, and historical points of view as well as mathematically; and in Mathematics 287: Mathematics of the Gaming Industry, a course on gambling math for mathematics majors. Mark's students have traveled with him to the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, Michigan as part of these courses, where they combine their study of gambling theory with practice and in so doing, retrace the origins of probability theory and its roots in gambling. Students in Math 287 also traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada to explore this subject at its American epicenter.
