The book is written for those learning about probability for the first time. Revised and updated, the book is aimed specifically at statistics and data science students who need a solid introduction to the basics of probability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile retaining its focus on basic probability, including Bayesian probability and the interface between probability and computer simulation, this edition's significant revisions are as follows: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany extra motivational examples and problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew material on Bayesian probability, including two famous court cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew sections on real-world applications of the Poisson distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew sections on generating functions and the bivariate normal density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew chapter on Markov chains, including Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe approach followed in the book is to develop probabilistic intuition before diving into details. The best way to learn probability is by practising on a lot of problems. Many instructive problems together with problem-solving strategies are given. Answers to all problems and worked-out solutions to selected problems are also provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenk Tijms is the author of several textbooks in the area of applied probability.
