This book describes an invariant, l, of oriented rational homology 3-spheres which is a generalization of work of Andrew Casson in the integer homology sphere case. Let R(X) denote the space of conjugacy classes of representations of p(X) into SU(2). Let (W,W,F) be a Heegaard splitting of a rational homology sphere M. Then l(M) is declared to be an appropriately defined intersection number of R(W) and R(W) inside R(F). The definition of this intersection number is a delicate task, as the spaces involved have singularities.
A formula describing how l transforms under Dehn surgery is proved. The formula involves Alexander polynomials and Dedekind sums, and can be used to give a rather elementary proof of the existence of l. It is also shown that when M is a Z-homology sphere, l(M) determines the Rochlin invariant of M.

An Extension of Casson's Invariant.
An easy read since I finished up a stats course last term (I got to skip most of the math explanations). It was an interesting look at probability and I think it would be a good starter book for those who aren't very well-versed in math. I certainly wish I'd found this when I started learning Probability myself as the examples were so thoroughly explained in essentially layman's terms and everything was very easy to understand.
Also with an example entirely about poisson distribution of chocolate chips in the baking of cookies, how can you go wrong? :P
