Format:Paperback
Despite its age this textbook remains a must have. New and advanced textbooks usually refer to Feller's second volume. For example it is one of the few advanced probability textbooks that explains form scratch topics such as infinetely divisible distributions. The only drawback is its difficult notation, but....

the most thought provoking probability book ever written
8 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
This is the book we called Feller Volume II in graduate school. We used it to sharpen our intuition about probability. Feller was a master at explaining difficult things in simple ways. This includes the waiting time paradox and Benford's laws. For structure and rigor we looked elsewhere, Chung and/or Neveu. But Feller's books brought a joy and love for the subject. No statistician or probabilist should be without a copy on his shelf!
In spite of the fact that Feller produced one of the most general versions of the central limit theorem, there are no asymptotic theorems or proofs in this book.

A Great Classical Book
22 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
I used volume I in my class in probability at CALTECH in 1980/81. While never sacrificing rigor, Prof. Feller had the rare gift of explaining difficult things is such away, that they would become not only mathematically clear, but also intuitively obvious.
I consider this book one of the best math books available!

daunting, very duanting
12 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the tomes of probability theory. The material covered is not for the faint of heart though. The text explains things as do most graduate level math texts, in proofs and theory.
