The author is also a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Students interested in \u003ci\u003eeconomics, finance, statistics, mathematics, or other fields, \u003c\/i\u003e will also find this book a useful tool to help them further their studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book can also be warmly recommended as a prerequisite reading to the students who consider taking, or are in the process of taking, the \u003ci\u003eChartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams\u003c\/i\u003e. Indeed, the statistics and portfolio management material studied in the CFA syllabus is fundamentally based on the probability results shown in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This text does not just present the material; it furthers an understanding of the foundations of probability theory.
