This text is designed for an introductory probability course at the
university level for sophomores, juniors, and seniors in
mathematics, physical and social sciences, engineering, and
computer science. It presents a thorough treatment of ideas and
techniques necessary for a firm understanding of the subject. The
text is also recommended for use in discrete probability courses.
The material is organized so that the discrete and continuous
probability discussions are presented in a separate, but parallel,
manner. This organization does not emphasize an overly rigorous or
formal view of probability and therefore offers some strong
pedagogical value. Hence, the discrete discussions can sometimes
serve to motivate the more abstract continuous probability
discussions. Features: Key ideas are developed in a somewhat
leisurely style, providing a variety of interesting applications to
probability and showing some nonintuitive ideas. Over 600 exercises
provide the opportunity for practicing skills and developing a
sound understanding of ideas. Numerous historical comments deal
with the development of discrete probability. The text includes
many computer programs that illustrate the algorithms or the
methods of computation for important problems.
