The book "Mathematics in Games, Sports, and Gambling: The Games People Play" by Ronald J. Gould explores the use of mathematical concepts in various real-world scenarios. Key themes and topics covered in the book include:
- **Discrete probability** 【1】【2】
- **Statistics** 【1】【2】
- **Elementary discrete mathematics** 【1】【2】
- **Mathematical thinking and problem solving** 【3】
- **Applications of mathematics** 【4】【5】
- **Games as mathematical models** 【6】

These themes can help you draw connections to other books in a library. You could connect this book to others focusing on probability theory, statistical analysis, or discrete mathematics. Additionally, books about game theory, sports analytics, or the mathematics of gambling would also share common ground. The book uses a "just-in-time" mathematics approach, presenting mathematical topics as questions about games are posed, which could also link it to books on mathematical pedagogy or recreational mathematics 【7】.
