Content Summary
This book is written for the "Probability Theory" course for applied mathematics majors and related majors in engineering colleges. The content includes six chapters: Random Events and Their Probabilities, Random Variables and Their Distributions, Multidimensional Random Vectors and Their Distributions, Numerical Characteristics of Random Variables, Generating Functions and Characteristic Functions, and Limit Theorems of Sequences of Random Variables. The purpose of this book is to introduce the ideas and methods of probability theory, its historical development, and numerous real-world probability models using relatively simple examples and language. Based on this foundation, students will master the fundamental theories of probability theory and develop the ability to think and solve various practical problems in real life using rigorous mathematical methods.
