Features: Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the quantitative laws of random phenomena in nature and human society. This book introduces the basic knowledge of probability theory through numerous examples, covering main topics such as combinatorial analysis, axiomatic foundations of probability theory, conditional probability and independence, discrete and continuous random variables, joint distributions of random variables, properties of expectation, and limit theorems. The book is accompanied by a large number of exercises, divided into three categories: exercises, theoretical exercises, and self-check exercises. The self-check exercises section also provides complete solutions. As an introductory text on probability theory, this book is suitable for students in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and related fields (including computer science, biology, social sciences, and management science) at institutions of higher education, as well as for reference by applied workers. ...
