Basic mathematical concepts and principles of stochastics
The book is based on talks held for pupils in their last year at school as an introduction to mathematics, especially stochastics. It contains a collection of topics in elementary mathematics and probability theory, divided into nine chapters. The first three chapters cover the principle of induction, the basics of sets and functions and the elements of combinatorics relevant to stochastics. In the next three chapters topics from probability theory are treated, i.e. basic concepts of probability, the inclusion-exclusion principle and formulas for the recursive computation of probabilities. In the next two chapters elementary problems from estimation theory are presented, the last chapter introduces \(\{0,1\}\)-valued continuous probability distributions as a description of the cardinality of sets. Instead of following the usual definition-theorem-proof style the author has chosen to present and discuss the concepts with the aid of examples. In addition, each chapter ends with some exercises, their solutions are given at the end of the book.
