The problems are selected on the basis of their elegance and utility whereas the snapshots are intended to provide a quick overview of topics in probability. These include combinatorics, Poisson approximation, patterns in random sequences, Markov chains, random walks, cover times, and embedding procedures. A wide range of readers will enjoy this diverse selection of topics. Students will find this a helpful and stimulating companion to their probability courses. The snapshots will leave the students with an expanded knowledge about topics not generally covered by textbooks. Other than a basic exposure to probabilistic ideas, such as might be gained from a first course in probability, it is self-contained. Consequently, almost all of the problems can be tackled by undergraduate students as well as appeal to those who enjoy the challenge of constructing and solving problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278396383383,"sku":"9780387941615","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387941615.webp?v=1769290842","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/problems-and-snapshots-from-the-world-of-probability-9780387941615","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
