{"product_id":"a-graduate-course-in-probability-liviu-i-nicolaescu-9789819819331","title":"A Graduate Course in Probability","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book grew out of the notes for a one-semester basic graduate course in probability. As the title suggests, it is meant to be an introduction to probability and could serve as textbook for a year long text for a basic graduate course. It assumes some familiarity with measure theory and integration so in this book we emphasize only those aspects of measure theory that have special probabilistic uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the topics that are part of the culture of an aspiring probabilist and it is guided by the author's personal belief that probability was and is a theory driven by examples. The examples form the main attraction of this subject. For this reason, a large book is devoted to an eclectic collection of examples, from classical to modern, from mainstream to \"exotic\". The text is complemented by nearly 200 exercises, quite a few nontrivial, but all meant to enhance comprehension and enlarge the reader's horizons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile teaching probability both at undergraduate and graduate level the author discovered the revealing power of simulations. For this reason, the book contains a veiled invitation to the reader to familiarize with the programing language R. In the appendix, there are a few of the most frequently used operations and the text is sprinkled with (less than optimal) R codes. Nowadays one can do on a laptop simulations and computations we could only dream as an undergraduate in the past. This is a book written by a probability outsider. That brings along a bit of freshness together with certain \"naiveties\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liviu I Nicolaescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819819334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819819331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.13d","brand":"Liviu I Nicolaescu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520058568959,"sku":"9789819819331","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3da622e-2d38-4af8-b59c-ef340c5b0e0f.jpg?v=1778740485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-graduate-course-in-probability-liviu-i-nicolaescu-9789819819331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
