Book Description

This classroom-tested best-selling textbook Introduction to Probability (PDF) is an introduction to probability theory; with the right balance between probabilistic intuition; mathematical precision; and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely while avoiding excessive technical details that may distract the students. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness; including probabilities; events; and random variables; the textbook offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for college students with a calculus background; the textbook teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems but also why the methods of solution work.
