{"product_id":"probability-with-applications-in-engineering-matthew-a-carlton-9783319524009","title":"Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis updated and revised first-course textbook in applied probability provides a contemporary and lively post-calculus introduction to the subject of probability. The exposition reflects a desirable balance between fundamental theory and many applications involving a broad range of real problem scenarios. It is intended to appeal to a wide audience, including mathematics and statistics majors, prospective engineers and scientists, and those business and social science majors interested in the quantitative aspects of their disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe textbook contains enough material for a year-long course, though many instructors will use it for a single term (one semester or one quarter). As such, three course syllabi with expanded course outlines are now available for download on the book's page on the Springer website.\u003c\/p\u003eA one-term course would cover material in the core chapters (1-4), supplemented by selections from one or more of the remaining chapters on statistical inference (Ch. 5), Markov chains (Ch. 6), stochastic processes (Ch. 7), and signal processing (Ch. 8-available exclusively online and specifically designed for electrical and computer engineers, making the book suitable for a one-term class on random signals and noise).\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a year-long course, core chapters (1-4) are accessible to those who have taken a year of univariate differential and integral calculus; matrix algebra, multivariate calculus, and engineering mathematics are needed for the latter, more advanced chapters. \u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of the textbook's pedagogy are 1,100 applied exercises, ranging from straightforward to reasonably challenging, roughly 700 exercises in the first four \"core\" chapters alone-a self-contained textbook of problems introducing basic theoretical knowledge necessary for solving problems and illustrating how to solve the problems at hand - in R and MATLAB, including code so that students can create simulations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to this edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Updated and re-worked Recommended Coverage for instructors, detailing which courses should use the textbook and how to utilize different sections for various objectives and time constraints\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Extended and revised instructions and solutions to problem sets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Overhaul of Section 7.7 on continuous-time Markov chains\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Supplementary materials include three sample syllabi and updated solutions manuals for both instructors and students\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew A.
