INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITY, AN: WITH MATHEMATICA
With MATHEMATICA’The main objective of this text is to facilitate a student’s smooth learning transition from a course on probability to its applications in various areas. To achieve this goal, students are encouraged to experiment numerically with problems requiring computer solutions.Contents: PrefaceNotations and AbbreviationsPermutation and CombinationAxiom of ProbabilityConditional ProbabilityRandom VariablesDiscrete Random VariablesContinuous Random VariablesJointly Distributed Random VariablesDependenceLimit TheoremsA Terse Introduction to MathematicaAnswers to Odd-Numbered ProblemsIndexReadership: Undergraduate students specialising in mathematics, engineering, computer science, actuarial science and business. Key Features:Uses MATHEMATICA as vehicle for experimenting with probability and its applications as opposed to an expositional medium for pedagogical purposesPlaces more emphases on applications in various areas ‘ particularly in financial mathematics and data analysisIncludes transform methods as a staple for working with random variablesISBN: 9789811245435, 9811245436
