A Natural Introduction to Probability Theory
According to Leo Breiman (1968), probability theory has a right and a left hand. The right hand refers to rigorous mathematics, and the left hand refers to 'proba bilistic thinking'. The combination of these two aspects makes probability theory one of the most exciting fields in mathematics. One can study probability as a purely mathematical enterprise, but even when you do that, all the concepts that arise do have a meaning on the intuitive level. For instance, we have to define what we mean exactly by independent events as a mathematical concept, but clearly, we all know that when we flip a coin twice, the event that the first gives heads is independent of the event that the second gives tails. Why have I written this book? I have been teaching probability for more than fifteen years now, and decided to do something with this experience. There are already many introductory texts about probability, and there had better be a good reason to write a new one. I will try to explain my reasons now.

Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications
Author: Géza Schay
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2007-08-15
Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications targets non-mathematics students, undergraduates and graduates, who do not need an exhaustive treatment of the subject. The presentation is rigorous and contains theorems and proofs, and linear algebra is largely avoided so only a minimal amount of multivariable calculus is needed. The book contains clear definitions, simplified notation and techniques of statistical analysis, which combined with well-chosen examples and exercises, motivate the exposition. Theory and applications are carefully balanced. Throughout the book there are references to more advanced concepts if required.
