'What makes this book unique among books of similar size and scope
is that when the author decided to include something in the book,
he has treated it in a way similar to the common practice in
textbooks, with very detailed and reader-friendly explanations,
fully worked-out examples, and even numerous exercises ... There
are no prerequisites beyond second-semester calculus and the book
can be used for self-study as well as in the
classroom.'CHOICEWritten by international award-winning probability
expert Henk Tijms, Basic Probability: What Every Math Student
Should Know presents the essentials of elementary probability. The
book is primarily written for high school and college students
learning about probability for the first time. In a highly
accessible way, a modern treatment of the subject is given with
emphasis on conditional probability and Bayesian probability, on
striking applications of the Poisson distribution, and on the
interface between probability and computer simulation.In modern
society, it is important to be able to critically evaluate
statements of a probabilistic nature presented in the media in
order to make informed judgments. A basic knowledge of probability
theory is indispensable to logical thinking and statistical
literacy. The book provides this knowledge and illustrates it with
numerous everyday situations.
