1.0 out of 5 stars Edition 2001: Well written and example well chosen, June 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Probability: A Complete Solution Guide to Any Textbook (Problem Solvers) (Paperback)
However, it has missing subchapter entries from the Context, missing labels for figures and tables, poor Glossary and poor Index. Finding a subject of interest is a real challenge.
The book suffers from numerous mistyping errors. The most frequent: part of expressions from nominator are put in the denominator for no mathematical reasons, and column headers shifted to the left in tables. As a result, one may expect to spend significantly more time studying it and still be confused. It needs more figures and professional proof reading to become an excellent book. The final solutions to the Problems are correct.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lower than my expecations, December 10, 2002
By 
Antonios Giannakas (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Probability: A Complete Solution Guide to Any Textbook (Problem Solvers) (Paperback)
The book is not the "A complete Solution Guide to Any Textbook" that it promises to be. It has plenty of problems, but it tends to be targeting novices in probability. MGF's, Stratified sampling, joint distributions are not dully covered. It includes a Chapter on Markov Chains and Martingales. Although explanation is adequate the deapth of the coverage is inadequate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a complete review, December 9, 2002
This review is from: Probability: A Complete Solution Guide to Any Textbook (Problem Solvers) (Paperback)
I used the Stochastic Processes section to gain an intuitive understanding of what these beasts are about. I recommend that section for it simplicity to anyone who wants to get more than the abstract stuff that floats over the head of most people in contemporary textbooks.
