Brief Introduction
Probability management is the discipline of communicating and calculating uncertainties as auditable data arrays called Stochastic Information Packets or SIPs. This course provides a basic introduction to the subject.

- How to recognize the
- Flaw of Averages,

- The
- Arithmetic of Uncertainty
- , which performs calculations with uncertain inputs, resulting in uncertain outputs from which you can calculate true average outcomes and the chances of achieving specified goals.
- How to create
- Interactive Simulations
- which may be shared with any Excel user without the need for add-ins or macros. The approach is just as at home in R, Python or any programming environment that supports arrays.
