Excellent explanation of basic concepts, and I echo the positive reviews of other readers.             Student Manual for Probability & Statistics for Engineers & Scientists22 reviews Sharon L. Myers Prentice Hall, 2006 Engineering Specialist With an exception of Chapter 1, this book is well written, well organized with logical flow of subjects, and having practical example for every chapter's sub-topics. I found most of these examples are simple and very supportive for the understanding of mathematical expressions and that link the underline subject with real-world application. This book, in my opinion, is an excellent text for ...             Introduction to Probability and Statistics9 reviews William Mendenhall, Robert J. Beaver, ... Duxbury Press, 2008 Good Straight forward book I took an intro graduate level stats class without any previous formal teaching of stats. This book is simple and to the point. As the title claims this is only and 'Introduction to stats', so I don't know why the other reviewers were complaining about its depth. Compared to the usual math books, this one gives good examples and shows sufficient intermediate steps.             Introduction to Probability Models, Ninth Edition35 reviews Sheldon M. Ross Academic Press, 2006 New To This Edition Are Five New Sections ".....NEW TO THIS EDITION ARE FIVE NEW SECTIONS, and numerous new examples and exercises, many of which focus on strategies applicable in risk industries such as insurance or acturial work....." "Other Academic Press books by Sheldon Ross: Simulation 3/e, ISBN 0 12 598053 1. Probability Models for Computer Science, ISBN 0 12 598051 5. Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers ...             Student's Solutions Manual for Miller & Freund's Probability and Statistics for Engineers8 reviews Richard Johnson Prentice Hall, 2004 Smooth and useful text for probability and statistical tests The book is rather well written. It starts with verty simple probability theory and then describes densities and gets into tests and other topics. The level of math is reasonable and I think undergraduates in both engineering and economics should be able to handle that level of math. Every topic comes with numerical examples which makes it easy to get ideas. There are exercises in the book too ...             Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences (with Student Suite Online)32 reviews Jay L. Devore Duxbury Press, 2007 Hard to learn from... I had this book for an undergrad web based distance learning course. We covered up to chapter 9. This book is very hard to learn from. It seems to concentrate on explaining a lot of theory, but htere are not enough illustrations or graphs to be able to follow the discussion. In addition,unfortunately, when you go to do the problems, very little in the discussion or the examples are helpful ...             Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers, Student Solutions Manual19 reviews Douglas C. Montgomery, George C. Runger Wiley, 2006 One of the best statistic books I've ever seen! I bought this book for my statistic class. this book is great. Examples are easy to follow and the theory is easy to read.             Probability and Statistical Inference (7th Edition)31 reviews Robert V Hogg, Elliot A. Tanis Prentice Hall, 2005 Good reference book It's the text book for a prerequisite class for our Statistics graduate program. This book introduces essential theories in Statistics. If you review some calculus and algebra, you will be find go through the book and the more you read the more you get from this book. I've read it three times and tried its examples. This book is not the most difficult one in Statistics yet but if you are not a ...             Probability and Statistics, 3rd Edition24 reviews Morris H. DeGroot, Mark J. Schervish Addison Wesley, 2001 Best intro reference for graduate students This is by far the best graduate text for basic probability and statistics that is currently made. It even nicely incorporates Bayesian material in a completely relevant way. No, it is probably too complex and abstract for complete beginners in probability as many of the reviewers here have suggested. For anyone with even just a basic background in statistics or probability, however, it is ...             First Course in Probability, A (8th Edition)57 reviews Sheldon Ross Prentice Hall, 2008 Fantastic Introductory Book I used this book in my second year of undergrad in an introductory probability course. This book was perfect for such a course. It is a very easy introduction to the world of probability. Ross assumes almost nothing but basic calculus and a willingness to work through the problems to increase your understanding. Some of the other reviews I have read basically are asking for the author to hold ...             Probability For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))6 reviews Deborah Rumsey For Dummies, 2006 Superb Very useful common sense approach to subject. Recommended to students taking intreoductory course in the subject.             Probability and Random Processes17 reviews Geoffrey R. Grimmett, David R. Stirzaker Oxford University Press, USA, 2001 Graduate Probability I don't think people should degrade this book because they found it to be tough. They have to blame the person or persons who chose to use the book. I think this book should be used for graduate studies in probability. Maybe people don't understand what graduate studies are all about. You are expected to master concepts when you're doing a master's degree and getting a graduate degree is not as ...             Probability Concepts in Engineering: Emphasis on Applications to Civil and Environmental Engineering5 reviews Alfredo H-S. Ang, Wilson H. Tang Wiley, 2006 Indispensable books for safety and reliability engineers Alhough Ang and Tang's Volumes I and II are already over 20 years old, I consider these books as one of the best on probabilistic design methods in civil engineering. The books cover topics such as 'statistical decision analysis (including CBA, MCA, MCDM)', 'queueing models', 'extreme value theory', 'Monte Carlo simulation', 'failure probability calculation' and 'system reliability techniques'. A ...             High Probability trading87 reviews Marcel Link McGraw-Hill, 2003 Don't let it sit on your bookshelf like I did for about 3 years. Now I that I finally picked it up I am almost a third of the way through and already has Marcel Link's clear, honest, to the point language and approach to day trading dotted my i's and crossed my t's several times over. Yes, I did read books about small cap value investing, how to read charts and how to make money using all kinds of fancy systems before this one and ...             Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability with Solutions10 reviews Frederick Mosteller Dover Publications, 1987 Worth its' weight in a very precious metal This collection of fifty-six classic problems in probability is a first-rate work. All of the solutions are well written and easily followed. The reasoning is general enough to allow you to go on and solve related problems. Examples are birthday matching, trials until success, cooperation, gambler's ruin, and Buffon's needle. If you have a soft spot for problems in probability, this book is an ...             Probability and Stochastic Processes: A Friendly Introduction for Electrical and Computer Engineers9 reviews Roy D. Yates, David J. Goodman Wiley, 2004 A supportive reader Let me begin by saying this book is written at a level for senior level B.S. and first year M.S. engineering (not math) students. It is the best book I've seen for introducing probability, random variables and related concepts to this student demographic (particularly to Elec. Eng. or Comp. Eng majors). It has all the introductory concepts and lays out the foundation for later subject matter in ...             Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences, Enhanced Review Edition Jay L. Devore Duxbury Press, 2008 This comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics will give you the solid grounding you need no matter what your engineering specialty. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, the author helps you go beyond simply learning about statistics to actually putting the statistical methods to use. Rather than focus on rigorous mathematical development and potentially overwhelming derivations, the book emphasizes concepts, models, ...             Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes For Electrical Engineering (3rd Edition)24 reviews Alberto Leon-Garcia Prentice Hall, 2008 Don't know why it's getting all these negative reviews... ...maybe I'm just dumb. This was the textbook for a senior/ first-year grad student EE probability course. I found it well-organized and well-written, with plenty of examples designed to illustrate and reinforce important concepts. I cannot answer as to its mathematical rigor, not being a mathematician, but as an engineer I found the derivations thorough (i.e., not a lot of skipped steps or ...             Probability15 reviews Jim Pitman Springer, 1999 Great for "applied" types like me I would guess all the intensely negative reviews are from "pure-math" types. But, if you need to understand how to apply probability to some real-world problem, this book is for you. I have never encountered such an easy-to-read description of probability. Also, there are absolutely great, intuitive examples which are non-trivial and easily extended. I completely disagree that this book ...             Schaum's Outline of Probability, Random Variables, and Random Processes15 reviews Hwei Hsu McGraw-Hill, 1996 Essential supplement for any course in random processes I used this book in conjunction with "Probability and Random Processes with Applications to Signal Processing" by Stark & Woods, and I would have to say that this Schaum's outline filled in the gaps nicely. Stark & Woods has a nice selection of exercises, but unfortunately there are no solutions to any of the problems in the book, so you have no way of knowing whether or not you have grasped the ...              search for books applications, applied, challenging, computer, concepts, dummies, edition, electrical, emphasis, engineering, engineers, enhanced, environmental, friendly, inference, introduction, outline, probability, problems, processes, science, sciences, scientists, solutions, statistical, statistics, stochastic, student, trading, variables books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
