Product Description
Product Description
This new undergraduate text offers a concise introduction to probability and random processes. Exercises and problems range from simple to difficult, and the overall treatment, though elementary, includes rigorous mathematical arguments. Chapters contain core material for a beginning course in probability, a treatment of joint distributions leading to accounts of moment-generating functions, the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, and basic random processes.

Format:Paperback
This rollicking ride through the ins and outs of probability is jam-packed with fun examples. The humour employed to make the book interesting really hits the spot and engages the reader throughout. Perhaps the one criticism is that this book doesn't go deep enough for an advanced probability course, for which I would recommend Grimmett and Stirzaker's volume.

A hefty tome by no stretch of the imagination. this book provides a rigorous yet tough guide through all the ins and outs, nooks and crannies, of probability theory; from flipping coins to card trick , it has them all. A definite must buy for the serious gambler!
Format:Paperback
Excellent product, very easy to read, layout is good, content explained well and accessible for someone who knows very little about probability, highly recommended! Delivery was fast and quality of the item was very good as described!
