Reviews

From the reviews: Throughout the book, the author chooses examples and exercises that are classics in the field of probability . does an admirable job of combining the rigor necessary for a first course in probability theory while continuing to engage the more applied oriented student s curiosity with interesting examples and exercises. The book deserves serious consideration for anyone teaching the first course in probability theory or one engaged in applied work who desires a more thorough grounding in the mathematical principles of probability theory. (Mark A. Mccomb, Technometrics, Vol. 54 (1), February, 2012)
