Probability (Classics in Applied Mathematics, Series Number 7) by Leo Breiman (PDF)

Description

Well known for the clear, inductive nature of its exposition, this reprint volume is an excellent introduction to mathematical probability theory. It may be used as a graduate-level text in one- or two-semester courses in probability for students who are familiar with basic measure theory, or as a supplement in courses in stochastic processes or mathematical statistics. Designed around the needs of the student, this book achieves readability and clarity by giving the most important results in each area while not dwelling on any one subject. Each new idea or concept is introduced from an intuitive, common-sense point of view. Students are helped to understand why things work, instead of being given a dry theorem-proof regime.

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘This excellent textbook by L. Breiman, which was used by many people to learn probability and which was out of print for some years, is again available as an unchanged republication. It gives an introduction to probability based on measure theory.’ F. Hofbauer, Monatschefte für Mathematik’A reprint of the 1986 Addison-Wesley text, long out of print (TR, October 1968). This is one of the true classics in the field of probability and its reappearance is welcome. At this price it belongs on the shelf of every student and professional in the area.’ American Mathematical Monthly’The style of writing is very informal and chatty. With a few exceptions this goes over quite well. Though one might reproach the author with an undue haste in keeping the reader’s attention, and in skimming the cream of many subjects, the overall effect is good and may to some extent alleviate the discouragement of many non-specialists who want a reasonably modern account not overly encumbered with heavy analytic and set-theoretic preliminaries.’ D. A. Darling, Mathematical Reviews’This book is written on an advanced graduate level and addresses statisticians, engineers, and mathematicians who are interested in probability theory and measure and function theory.’ Ion A. Craciun, Recenzii Book Description Well known for the clear nature of its exposition, this reprint volume is an excellent introduction to mathematical probability theory. Book Description This reprint volume is an excellent introduction to mathematical probability theory, suitable for graduate-level use in probability courses or as a supplement for courses in stochastic processes or mathematical statistics. The readability and clarity of the style help students understand why things work, instead of handing them a theorem-proof regime. About the Author Leo Breiman is professor and director of the statistical computing facility in the statistics department at the University of California at Berkeley. He is a fellow of the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐99% mathematischer Bücher sind Schrott = eine Häufung unmotivierter lückenhafter Rechnungen. Es gibt wirklich ganz wenige Ausnahmen (z.B. Funktionalanalysis von Brezis, Numerical Linear Algebra von Trefethen&Bau, PDE von Evans). Dieses Buch gehört zu den Ausnahmen. Das Buch ist alt, ursprünglich 1968 geschrieben. Aber ein altes Buch, das man verstehen kann ist 10 Mal besser als 10 neue modernste Bücher, die man nicht versteht.
