Probability Theory I

Probabilistic concepts play an increasingly important role in mathematics, physics, biology, financial engineering and computer science. They help us to understand magnetism, amorphous media, genetic diversity and the perils of random developments on the financial markets, and they guide us in constructing more efficient algorithms.

A classic description of probability theory, which remains the proven work in the field.

This book is a revised and extended translation of a Swedish textbook which was published first in 1926 and then in entirely rewritten form in 1949. Starting with a historical introduction to the subjcct, the book covers the elements of the mathematical theory of probability, with the main emphasis on the theory of random variables and probability distributions. Applications to various fields, particularly to modern statistical methods, arc discusscd and illustrated by a number of examples. The problems offered for the reader's solution include simple exercises as well as important complements to the theories and methods given in the text.

Charles M. (Chuck) Newman has been a leader in Probability Theory and Statistical Physics for nearly half a century. This three-volume set is a celebration of the far-reaching scientific impact of his work. It consists of articles by Chuck’s collaborators and colleagues across a number of the fields to which he has made contributions of fundamental significance. This publication was conceived during a conference in 2016 at NYU Shanghai that coincided with Chuck`s 70th birthday.
