The Structure of Probability Theory with Applications, Preliminary Edition, Part 1

Aram J. Thomasian is Professor of Statistics and Electrical Engineering Emeritus at University of California, Berkeley. He developed this book as a systematic introduction to the fundamental aspects of probability theory. His preface to this edition states that about 70% of the material in part 1 and segments from part 2 would constitute a one semester undergraduate probability course. This volume has material only for part 1. Author assumes calculus as a prerequisite for the probability course. Part 1 gives notation and theorems of probability theory not usually covered in a calculus course using discrete examples and probability measures while part 2 continues the theory with topics in the continuous cases. Title wording makes it appear that this edition with only part 1 was published for a period of time before the full edition could be finalized. No problems for the reader noticed. Rare. This copy has set on the shelf for many years. Opens and looks as if never read, certainly not seriously studied. Paperback has single reading crease in spine with square corners. Interior tight, clean & unmarked, except for ink stamped price (as used by college bookstores of that era) in front end-pages. Copyright 1964. No ISBN nor LCCN. McGraw-Hill code 64275. MSR = $4.50.
