Designed for students in various disciplines of engineering, science, mathematics, management and business, this effective study tool includes hundreds of problems with step-by-step solutions and another 150 problems with hints or delayed answers. The solved problems illustrate and strongly reinforce vital theory and techniques. Topics taught include functions of random variables; expectation and limit theorems; and estimation theory, decision theory and queuing theory.
Good and thorough, building up from fundamentals to advanced topics. Consistent with the Shaum’s ethos, large numbers of problems with solutions to check one’s work — this makes a big difference in nurturing fundamental understanding of probability. The book does not touch measure theory, but has pretty much everything else covered. Personally, I also enjoyed the computer science and electrical engineering flavour seeping through the author’s background.
