This classroom-tested textbook is an introduction to probability theory, with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness, including events, probabilities, and random variables, the text offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.

This comprehensive presentation of the basic concepts of probability theory examines both classical and modern methods. The treatment emphasizes the relationship between probability theory and mathematical analysis, and it stresses applications to statistics as well as to analysis. Topics include: • The laws of large numbers • Distribution and characteristic functions • The central limit problem • Dependence • Random variables taking values in a normed linear space Each chapter features worked examples in addition to problems, and bibliographical references to supplementary reading material enhance the text. For advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics.
