Synopsis:
This market leader is written as an elementary introduction to the mathematical theory of probability for readers in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences who possess the prerequisite knowledge of elementary calculus.A major thrust of the Fifth Edition has been to make the book more accessible to today's readers. The exercise sets have been revised to include more simple, "mechanical" problems and new section of Self-test Problems, with fully worked out solutions, conclude each chapter. In addition many new applications have been added to demonstrate the importance of probability in real situations. A software diskette, packaged with each copy of the book, provides an easy to use tool to derive probabilities for binomial, Poisson, and normal random variables. It also illustrates and explores the central limit theorem, works with the strong law of large numbers, and more.
From the Publisher: A First Course in Probability, Fourth Edition, thoroughly presents the mathematics of probability theory as well as the many diverse applications of the subject. Fundamental concepts such as the principles of combinational analysis, key to computing probabilities, and the axioms of probability theory are thoroughly covered early on. The author's concise writing style and refined textual organization covers topics such as conditional probability and independence of events, conditioning, expectation, and discrete, continuous, and jointly distributed random variables with unparalleled clarity. Interesting exercises and numerous worked examples solidly reinforce concepts.
