Product Description
The authors provide a fast introduction to probabilistic and statistical concepts necessary to understand the basic ideas and methods of stochastic differential equations. The book is based on measure theory which is introduced as smoothly as possible. It is intended for advanced undergraduate students or graduates, not necessarily in mathematics, providing an overview and intuitive background for more advanced studies as well as some practical skills in the use of MAPLE in the context of probability and its applications. As prerequisites the authors assume a familiarity with basic calculus and linear algebra, as well as with elementary ordinary differential equations and, in the final chapter, simple numerical methods for such ODEs. Although statistics is not systematically treated, they introduce statistical concepts such as sampling, estimators, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, significance levels and p-values and use them in a large number of examples, problems and simulations.

Simple Text, Poor Presentation, Incomplete Sentences, Old Maple Version September 24, 2008
P. Singh (USA)
This review is of Kindle edition.
The textbook attempts to present the material in easy to understand manner with hands-on Maple exercises. It is a good attempt, but is still incomplete.
At places Maple exercises are without any explanation. At many places there is no discussion after the Maple exercise. Maple commands also need a bit more introduction. The book uses Maple stats package, which is being replaced by Statistics in newer version. This is not authors fault, but it needs revision to attract new readers.
Also at several places the English grammar needs work. There are many incomplete sentences which makes reading those passages hard.
In Kindle edition, many equations are not showing up correctly. So I would recommend the paper edition.
