The main intended audience for this book is undergraduate students
in pure and applied sciences, especially those in engineering.
Chapters 2 to 4 cover the probability theory they generally need in
their training. Although the treatment of the subject is surely
su?cient for non-mathematicians, I intentionally avoided getting
too much into detail. For instance, topics such as mixed type
random variables and the Dirac delta function are only brie?y
mentioned. Courses on probability theory are often considered
di?cult. However, after having taught this subject for many years,
I have come to the conclusion that one of the biggest problems that
the students face when they try to learn probability theory,
particularly nowadays, is their de?ciencies in basic di?erential
and integral calculus. Integration by parts, for example, is often
already forgotten by the students when they take a course on
probability. For this reason, I have decided to write a chapter
reviewing the basic elements of di?erential calculus. Even though
this chapter might not be covered in class, the students can refer
to it when needed. In this chapter, an e?ort was made to give the
readers a good idea of the use in probability theory of the
concepts they should already know. Chapter 2 presents the main
results of what is known as elementary probability, including
Bayes' rule and elements of combinatorial analysis.
