Fundamentals of Probability with Stochastic Processes, Third Edition teaches probability in a natural way through interesting and instructive examples and exercises that motivate the theory, definitions, theorems, and methodology. The author takes a mathematically rigorous approach while closely adhering to the historical development of probability. He includes more than 1500 routine and challenging exercises, historical remarks, and discussions of probability problems recently published in journals, such as Mathematics Magazine and American Mathematical Monthly.
