Many of the most difficult problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. But even randomness or uncertainty is subject to the laws of mathematics if rigor is applied. This book provides students with a fundamental understanding of random phenomena, a working knowledge of how to model and analyze such phenomenon, and explains how to use probability and statistics to cope with uncertainty in key engineering problems. Basing his approach on the principle of theoretical foundations before application (statistics), Dr. Ogannaike presents a...
