Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"In summary, the text offers an up-to-date, lively exposition of elementary probability, with emphasis on excellent examples, exercises and problems, and interesting applications of the theory that is presented. Stirzaker states that 'a principal purpose of the book is to help the student to solve problems.' Most students, I think, would feel that Stirzaker has succeeded in this regard. The book would make an excellent text for the properly prepared class, a solid instructor's reference for both probability applications and problems, as well as a fine work for purposes of self-study." J. Philip Smith, School Science and Mathematics

Reseña del editor

The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward introduction to the theory of probability. The topics covered illustrate the wide range and power of the subject, and include conditional probability, independence, random variables, generating functions, and an introduction to Markov chains. The text is friendly and clear and provides numerous worked examples and exercises, all of which help build up the important skills necessary for problem solving. The underlying probabilistic concepts are also well illustrated by this approach, making this book ideal both for self study and as a course text.
