Features: This book closely aligns with the needs of economic work, fully considers the logic of thinking, highlights key points, provides thorough explanations, progresses step by step, and is easy to understand. It emphasizes the application of probability theory and mathematical statistics in economics, focuses on integrating with professional courses, ensures appropriate difficulty, and presents complex topics in a simple and clear manner. The book follows the principle of "building a solid foundation while being sufficient for practical use," focusing on the basic concepts, theories, and methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics to cultivate students' ability to perform calculations and solve practical problems efficiently. It maintains high standards in quality and is committed to being responsible to students.
Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics is divided into five chapters, introducing random events and their probabilities, random variables and their digital characteristics, several important probability distributions, the central limit theorem, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis. A preliminary chapter on permutations and combinations is included at the beginning of the book. The book focuses on explaining basic concepts, theories, and methods, aiming to develop students' ability to solve practical problems and master operational skills.
Economics and management programs are not mathematics departments. Following the principle of "building a solid foundation while being sufficient for practical use," this book removes certain content and rigorous proofs of some theorems that are not immediately necessary for economic work, while dedicating more space to detailed explanations of essential topics. It presents the material in a relaxed yet thorough manner, achieving the strategy of "winning with quantity over quality in tactics." The book does not aim for depth or comprehensiveness but prioritizes practicality, emphasizing economic applications, integrating with professional courses, and embodying the philosophy of "doing what is necessary while avoiding what is unnecessary."
