Introduction to Probability (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science)
Book information
Description
"Introduction to Probability is a very nice text for a calculus-based first course in probability. … The exercises are truly impressive. There are about 600 and some of them are very interesting and new to me. … The website has R code, the previously mentioned solutions, and many videos from the authors teaching the class. The videos are entertaining as well as informative. … In addition to the standard material for such a course, there are also very nicely done chapters on inequalities and limit theorems, Markov chains, and Markov chain Monte Carlo. … this is an excellent text and deserves serious consideration." ―MAA Reviews, August 2015 "Unique in its conceptual approach and its incorporation of simulations in R, this book is a welcome addition to the vast collection of probability textbooks currently available. … The topics covered in the book follow a fairly traditional order … The companion website for this textbook, stat110.net, offers supplemental materials to the textbook. There are more than 600 exercises in the textbook, and 250 of these exercises have detailed solutions available on the website. The website offers additional handouts and practice problems and exams, as well as over 30 video lectures available on YouTube or iTunes U. The book is also available as an electronic book. Overall, Introduction to Probability offers a fresh perspective on the traditional probability textbook. Its sections on simulation in R, emphasis on common student mistakes and misconceptions, story-like presentation, and illuminating visualizations provide a comprehensive, well-written textbook that I would consider using in my own probability course." ―The American Statistician, August 2015 "Full of real-life motivations and applications, this is a leisurely paced, exercise-laden text, which is also suitable for self-study. Each chapter ends with a Recap section, another section with R code snippets suggesting how to perform calculations and simulations with that program, and finally an Exercises section with an unusually large amount of exercises. Supplementary material is provided ... The book includes a redemption code providing access to an e-book version of the text ..." ―Zentralblatt MATH 1300

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
