An Introduction to Probability

€ 37,99

The main objective of this text is to facilitate a student's smooth learning transition from a course on probability to its applications in various areas. To achieve this goal, students are encouraged to experiment numerically with problems requiring computer solutions.
Contents:

• Preface
• Notations and Abbreviations
• Permutation and Combination
• Axiom of Probability
• Conditional Probability
• Random Variables
• Discrete Random Variables
• Continuous Random Variables
• Jointly Distributed Random Variables
• Dependence
• Limit Theorems
• A Terse Introduction to Mathematica
• Answers to Odd-Numbered Problems
• Index

Readership: Undergraduate students specialising in mathematics, engineering, computer science, actuarial science and business.
Key Features:

• Uses MATHEMATICA as vehicle for experimenting with probability and its applications as opposed to an expositional medium for pedagogical purposes
• Places more emphases on applications in various areas — particularly in financial mathematics and data analysis
• Includes transform methods as a staple for working with random variables
