Mario Lefebvre Applied Probability and Statistics

Covers probability and statistics in equal depth and will fit perfectly into applied math, EE, and CS undergraduate curricula Specifically geared toward a one semester course Enriched by a wealth of historical notes, real-life exercises and solutions test- driven in the author's class This book is based mainly on the lecture notes that I have been using since 1993 for a course on applied probability for engineers that I teach at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. This course is given to electrical, computer and physics engineering students, and is normally taken during the second or third year of their curriculum. Therefore, we assume that the reader has acquired a basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus. The main objective of this textbook is to provide a reference that covers the topics that every student in pure or applied sciences, such as physics, computer science, engineering, etc., should learn in probability theory, 2006, XVIII, 358 p. in addition to the basic notions of stochastic processes and statistics. It is not easy to find a single work on all these topics that is both succinct and also accessible to non- mathematicians. Because the students, who for the most part have never taken a course on Printed book prob• ability theory, must do a lot of exercises in order to master the material presented, I Hardcover included a very large number of problems in the book, some of which are solved in detail. 69,99 € | £59.99 | $84.99 Most of the exercises proposed after each chapter are problems written es• pecially for [1]74,89 € (D) | 76,99 € (A) | CHF examinations over the years.
