A First Course in Probability
This market leader is written as an elementary introduction  to the mathematical theory of probability for readers in mathematics,  engineering, and the sciences who possess the prerequisite knowledge of  elementary calculus.  A major thrust of the Fifth Edition has  been to make the book more accessible to today's readers. The exercise sets  have been revised to include more simple, "mechanical" problems and new section  of Self-test Problems, with fully worked out solutions, conclude each chapter.   In addition many new applications have been added to demonstrate the importance  of probability in real situations.  A software diskette, packaged with  each copy of the book, provides an easy to use tool to derive  probabilities for binomial, Poisson, and normal random variables. It also  illustrates and explores the central limit theorem, works with the strong law  of large numbers, and more.
