Описание: Probability has applications in many areas of modern science, not to mention in our daily life, and its importance as a mathematical discipline cannot be overrated. This engaging book, with its easy to follow writing style, provides a comprehensive, yet concise, introduction to the subject. It covers all of the standard material for undergraduate and first-year-graduate-level courses, as well as many topics that are usually not found in standard texts – such as Bayesian inference, Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation, and Chernoff bounds.
The student-friendly text has the following additional features:
• Is the result of many years of teaching and feedback from students;
• Stresses why probability is so relevant and how to apply it;
• Offers many real-world examples to support the theory;
• Includes more than 750 problems with detailed solutions of the odd-numbered problems;
• Gives students confidence in their own problem-solving skills.

Вероятность находит применение во многих областях современной науки, не говоря уже о нашей повседневной жизни, и ее значение как математической дисциплины трудно переоценить. Эта увлекательная книга, с ее легким для понимания стилем письма, представляет собой всеобъемлющее, но краткое введение в эту тему. Она охватывает все стандартные материалы для курсов бакалавриата и первого курса магистратуры, а также многие темы, которые обычно не встречаются в стандартных текстах, такие как байесовский вывод, моделирование марковской цепи методом Монте – Карло и границы Чернова.
Удобный для студентов текст имеет следующие дополнительные функции:
• Это результат многолетнего обучения и обратной связи со студентами;
• Подчеркивает, почему вероятность так важна и как ее применять;
• Предлагает множество реальных примеров в поддержку этой теории
• Включает в себя более 750 задач с подробными решениями нечетных задач;
• Дает студентам уверенность в своих собственных навыках решения проблем.
