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 probability is to see it in action,
there are more than 350 problems and 200 examples. The examples
contain all the old standards such as the birthday problem and
Monty Hall, but also include a number of applications not found in
other books, from areas as broad ranging as genetics, sports,
finance, and inventory management.
