 Excellent Textbook on Probability January 15, 2002
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent textbook on probability. i especially like the introduction for each topic as it presents the practicality of its use in real life. Also the examples makes the topic very clear and one should come away with a good understanding of each chapter. Highly recommended!

This book, although comprehensive, does not have great appeal. It does not explain all the topics completely by giving several examples. The cover is the best part.

I used this book for a sophomore course in probability. The major problems with this book are:
(1) Lack of mathematical rigour.
(2) Almost all of the exercises are trivial.
If you want to learn real probability look elsewhere.
