The Math that Gaming Made by industry-leading data experts Andrew Cardno and Dr. Ralph Thomas is a thought-provoking resource for anyone in the gaming industry who interacts with customers.
Andrew Cardno is an established thought leader in visual analytics with over 25 years of experience in the field.

In addition, he is an inventor with over 60 granted patents, has published over 100 industry and academic articles, and is co-author of four books on applied analytics.
“The gaming industry is unique because math model-based experiences are sold to customers who then choose how much they would like to pay for this experience. This creates a specific set of math problems where the normal rules of economics don’t apply,” said Andrew Cardno. “The Math that Gaming Made helps readers understand these unique analytical challenges and intertwines the probability-based value of customers with what they perceive as additional entertainment value.”
