The Pleasures of Probability

by Richard Isaac

Book Overview

The purpose of this book is to introduce the basic notions of probability through the discussion of a variety of problems and applications. The most important feature is the attempt to explain fundamental ideas in classical probability to non-specialists whose only prerequisite is algebra. The book can be used as a text for a first course in probability. Each chapter ends with a few problems with answers at the end of the book.
