Good for exercises 5 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Good for exercises and theory, but there are better books out there for a softer introduction to probability.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Although this book contains many useful examples and good practice problems, I found myself repeatedly irritated by language that seemed to aim the book at a male reader. In examples, "a class contains n boys and r girls" nearly always had n>r. One problem describes a college where 25% of the boys and only 10% of the girls take math classes. For a book used in a mathematics course, I consider this irresponsible because it reinforces the feelings of isolation that many young women studying math already experience. Another problem is about a woman who has eleven friends and is trying to plan a dinner party. Problems about men are usually about the cards they are dealt or the problems on a test they are taking. In short, the default is that the character in a problem is male, unless the problem has been phrased in a way that emphasizes activities that society stereotypes as feminine.

Excellent practical tool for learning; NOT sexist. 28 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book, like so many other Schaum's outlines, helped me years ago by giving me hundreds of problems and solutions.

Now, I use this book as a supplement to college courses i teach in probability theory. It is the best book for simplifying problems that confuse many students. It helps make the material far more accessible.

One person claimed the book was sexist; the book is ACCURATE. In every college i have any knowledge of, there are many more men than women in the math and phsyics courses. This is how the current world is. Bottom line: this book will help women and men learn probability theory.

You'll excel!!! 22 Oct 2001
By Francis Nzeutem - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I picked up this book upon a recommendation from my college bookstore. In class, we're using "A First Course in Probability" by Sheldon Ross. The book is too dry and made me fail the first test. Upon picking up this book though, I was able to do a lot of practice problems, was able to understand most concepts but more importantly, pass the class with an "A". I would recommend this book to anyone struggling in their probability class.

Good by itself 26 Aug 2002
By Jeffrey Leeper - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Although these books are usually used as a supplement to a textbook you are using for class, this book could work on its own. As long as you have some algebra under your belt, you should have no problem following this.

If you are looking to see what areas this covers, the chapters talk about set theory, techniques of counting, a probability introduction, conditional probability and independence, random variables, distributions (binomial, normal, and Poisson), and Markov chains. There are plenty of definitions, explanations, charts, and tables to help you remember and understand all the appropriate information. This is a very handy reference.

As with other books in the series, this book walks you through a few problems and then gives you some to solve. I like this book in that it gives you the answers so that you can check your understanding. Although it does walk you through the ones you did, you do have the final answer.

I would recommend this book.
