Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLABA(R) is an
introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory
with practice. Based on the authora (TM)s belief that only
"hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive
understanding, the approach is to motivate the need for theory
using MATLAB examples, followed by theory and analysis, and finally
descriptions of "real-world" examples to acquaint the reader with a
wide variety of applications. The latter is intended to answer the
usual question "Why do we have to study this?" Other salient
features are:
*heavy reliance on computer simulation for illustration and
student exercises
*the incorporation of MATLAB programs and code segments
*discussion of discrete random variables followed by continuous
random variables to minimize confusion
*summary sections at the beginning of each chapter
*in-line equation explanations
*warnings on common errors and pitfalls
*over 750 problems designed to help the reader assimilate and
extend the concepts
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLABA(R) is
intended for undergraduate and first-year graduate students in
engineering. The practicing engineer as well as others having the
appropriate mathematical background will also benefit from this
book.
