Description
"This is a simple and concise introduction to probability theory. Self-contained and readily accessible, it is written in an informal tutorial style with concepts and techniques defined and developed as necessary. Examples, demonstrations and exercises are used throughout to explore the ways in which probability is motivated by, and applied to, real-life problems in science, medicine, gaming and other subjects of interest. Essential proofs of important results are included." "Since it assumes minimal prior technical knowledge on the part of the reader, this book is suitable for students taking introductory courses in probability and will provide a solid foundation for more advanced courses in probability and statistics. It would also be a valuable reference for those needing a working knowledge of probability theory and will appeal to anyone interested in this endlessly fascinating and entertaining subject."--Jacket.
