The second edition represents an ongoing effort to make probability
accessible to students in a wide range of fields such as
mathematics, statistics and data science, engineering, computer
science, and business analytics. The book is written for those
learning about probability for the first time. Revised and updated,
the book is aimed specifically at statistics and data science
students who need a solid introduction to the basics of
probability.While retaining its focus on basic probability,
including Bayesian probability and the interface between
probability and computer simulation, this edition's significant
revisions are as follows:The approach followed in the book is to
develop probabilistic intuition before diving into details. The
best way to learn probability is by practising on a lot of
problems. Many instructive problems together with problem-solving
strategies are given. Answers to all problems and worked-out
solutions to selected problems are also provided.Henk Tijms is the
author of several textbooks in the area of applied probability. In
2008, he had received the prestigious INFORMS Expository Writing
Award for his work. He is active in popularizing probability at
Dutch high schools.
