Ross S. A first course in probability

Cambridge University Press, 2009. - 254 pages. This clear and lively introduction to probability theory concentrates on the results that are the most useful for applications, including combinatorial probability and Markov chains. Concise and focused, it is designed for a one-semester introductory course in probability for students who have some familiarity with basic calculus. Reflecting the author's philosophy that the best way to learn probab...

John Wiley & Sons, 1963. - 695 pages. Probability theory can be understood as a mathematical model for the intuitive notion of uncertainty. Without probability theory all the stochastic models in Physics, Biology, and Economics would either not have been developed or would not be rigorous. Also, probability is used in many branches of pure mathematics, even in branches one does not expect this, like in convex geometry.

Explores concept of probability, surveys rules for addition and multiplication of probabilities, conditional probability, total probability, Bayes formula, Bernoulli’s scheme, random variables, the Chebychev inequality, distribution curves, and the means by which an event is declared to be in practice impossible.

McGraw-Hill, 1998, 376 pages. The purpose of this book is to present a modern introduction to probability and statistics using background of calculus. For convenience the book is divided into two parts. The first deals with probability (and by itself can be used to provide an introduction to the subject), while the second deals with statistics. The book is designed to be used either as a textbook for formal course in probability and statistics or...

Wiley-Interscience, 608 pages, 1995. Now in its new third edition, Probability and Measure offers advanced students, scientists, and engineers an integrated introduction to measure theory and probability. Retaining the unique approach of the previous editions, this text interweaves material on probability and measure, so that probability problems generate an interest in measure theory and measure theory is then developed and applied to probabilit...

Prentice Hall, 2009. - 552 pages. 8th Edition A First Course in Probability, Eighth Edition, features clear and intuitive explanations of the mathematics of probability theory, outstanding problem sets, and a variety of diverse examples and applications. This book is ideal for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate level introduction to probability for math, science, engineering and business students. It assumes a background in elementary cal...

7th Edition. Publisher: Prentice Hall, 2005. - 147 pages. This introduction presents the mathematical theory of probability for readers in the fields of engineering and the sciences who possess knowledge of elementary calculus. Presents new examples and exercises throughout. Offers a new section that presents an elegant way of computing the moments of random variables defined as the number of events that occur. Gives applications to binomial, hy...
