It gives the reader a solid foundation for formulating and solving many kinds of probability problems for deriving additional results that may be needed in order to address more challenging questions, as well as for proceeding with the study of a wide variety of more advanced topics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreat care is devoted to a clear and detailed development of the 'conceptual model' which serves as the bridge between any real-world situation and its analysis by means of the mathematics of probability. Throughout the book, this conceptual model is not lost sight of. Random variables in one and several dimensions are treated in detail, including singular random variables, transformations, characteristic functions, and sequences. Also included are special topics not covered in many probability texts, such as fuzziness, entropy, spherically symmetric random variables, and copulas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome special features of the book are: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ea unique step-by-step presentation organized into 86 topical Sections, which are grouped into six Parts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eover 200 diagrams augment and illustrate the text, which help speed the reader's comprehension of the material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eshort answer review questions following each Section, with an answer table provided, strengthen the reader's detailed grasp of the material contained in the Section\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eproblems associated with each Section provide practice in applying the principles discussed, and in some cases extend the scope of that material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ean online separate solutions manual is available for course tutors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe various features of this textbook make it possible for engineering students to become well versed in the 'machinery' of probability theory.
