Description: "This book is designed as an introductory text for the undergraduate and many postgraduate courses in commerce, management, agronomy and acturial science etc. Though conventional intuitive approach has been adopted, its relation to the empirical and axiomatic approaches have also been expounded.

Examples, both solved and unsolved, have been drawn from all walks of life to convince readers about the ethereal existence of probability and to familiarize them with the techniques of solving a variety of similar problems.".

"The treatment of the latest results and the resolution of many confusions related to the basic concepts are the key features. The development is systematic and elegant, yet rigorous, winding its path through distributions, transformations, convergence and multivariate analysis, and encompassing over all important theorems." "The book will be an excellent text, both for the traditional and the modern minds."--BOOK JACKET.
