Opis

Mathematical probability theory is especially interesting to scientists and engineers. This work introduces probability theory, showing how probability problems can be formulated mathematically in order to systematically attack routine methods. Topics include independence and dependence probability laws and random variables. Over 500 exercises, an appendix of tables, and answers to odd-numbered questions are also included.
