A First Course in Probability explores the mathematics and potential applications of probability theory. It is an elementary introduction to the theory of probability for upper-level and graduate students majoring in mathematics, statistics, engineering and the sciences. Through clear and intuitive explanations, it presents not only the mathematics of probability theory but also the many diverse possible applications of this subject using numerous examples. The 10th Edition includes many new and updated problems; new material on topics including the Pareto distribution, Poisson limit results, and the Lorenz curve; new examples such as computing NCAA basketball tournament win probabilities and the friendship paradox; revised and streamlined exposition for clarity and deeper understanding; and much more.
