Probability has applications in many areas of modern science, not to mention in our daily life, and its importance as a mathematical discipline cannot be overrated. This engaging book, with its easy to follow writing style, provides a comprehensive, yet concise, introduction to the subject. It covers all of the standard material for undergraduate and first-year-graduate-level courses, as well as many topics that are usually not found in standard texts – such as Bayesian inference, Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation, and Chernoff bounds.
The student-friendly text has the following additional features:
Is the result of many years of teaching and feedback from students;
Stresses why probability is so relevant and how to apply it;
Offers many real-world examples to support the theory;
Includes more than 750 problems with detailed solutions of the odd-numbered problems;
Gives students confidence in their own problem-solving skills.
