A natural introduction to probability theory (English)
0 references
The book gives an excellent new introductory text on probability. The classical way of teaching probability is based on measure theory. In this book discrete and continuous probability are studied with mathematical precision, within the realm of Riemann integration and not using notions from measure theory. In the framework of discrete and continuous probabilities numerous topics are discussed, such as: random walks, weak laws of large numbers, infinitely many repetitions, strong laws of large numbers, branching processes, weak convergence and central limit theorem. The theory is illustrated with many original and surprising examples and problems.
