Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology, M. A. Carlton and J. L. Devore. Springer, New York, NY, 2014, 769 pp, $79.99, ISBN 978-1-4939-0394-8. eBook: $59.99, ISBN 978-1-4939-0395-5.
he book presents the basic knowledge of probability and statistical inference and their applications in engineering and science. The contents of this book are as the following: the first five chapters introduce the basic knowledge of probability, discrete and continuous distributions, and statistical inference. Chapter 6 presents Markov chains, following which Chapter 7 introduces the concept of random processes. The application of probability and statistics in signal processing is given in Chapter 8.
This book aims to provide both basic knowledge in probability and more advanced academic topics for students and researchers. Mathematical foundations and the application of probability to the real world problems are well balanced. Basic concepts and definitions for the beginners are provided. With simple illustrative schematics and examples,...
