Riassunto

Questa chiara esposizione inizia con concetti di base e passa alla combinazione di eventi, eventi dipendenti e variabili casuali, prove di Bernoulli e teorema di De Moivre-Laplace, un trattamento dettagliato delle catene di Markov, processi di Markov continui e altro ancora. Include 150 problemi, molti con risposte. Indispensabile sia per i matematici che per gli scienziati naturali.
