[educator.com] Introduction to Probability

Compactly written, but nevertheless very readable, appealing to intuition, this introduction to probability theory is an excellent textbook for a one-semester course for undergraduates in any direction that uses probabilistic ideas. Technical machinery is only introduced when necessary. The route is rigorous but does not use measure theory.

This book covers in a leisurely manner all the standard material that one would want in a full year probability course with a slant towards applications in financial analysis at the graduate or senior undergraduate honors level.

Suitable for self study. Use real examples and real data sets that will be familiar to the audience. Introduction to the bootstrap is included – this is a modern method missing in many other books.
