It is an introduction, no more: throughout the book the authors discuss the theory of probability for situations having only a finite number of possibilities, and the mathematics employed is held to the elementary level. But within its purposely restricted range it is extremely thorough, well organized, and absolutely authoritative. It is the only English translation of the latest revised Russian edition; and it is the only current translation on the market that has been checked and approved by Gnedenko himself.\u003cbr\u003eAfter explaining in simple terms the meaning of the concept of probability and the means by which an event is declared to be in practice, impossible, the authors take up the processes involved in the calculation of probabilities. They survey the rules for addition and multiplication of probabilities, the concept of conditional probability, the formula for total probability, Bayes's formula, Bernoulli's scheme and theorem, the concepts of random variables, insufficiency of the mean value for the characterization of a random variable, methods of measuring the variance of a random variable, theorems on the standard deviation, the Chebyshev inequality, normal laws of distribution, distribution curves, properties of normal distribution curves, and related topics.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is unique in that, while there are several high school and college textbooks available on this subject, there is no other popular treatment for the layman that contains quite the same material presented with the same degree of clarity and authenticity. Anyone who desires a fundamental grasp of this increasingly important subject cannot do better than to start with this book. New preface for Dover edition by B. V. Gnedenko.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49723937947921,"sku":"CIN0486601552G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50594645246225,"sku":"GOR009340181","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002888978705,"sku":"NIN9780486601557","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52738250014993,"sku":"CIN0486601552A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52789147697425,"sku":"CIN0486601552VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486601552.jpg?v=1751230105"},{"product_id":"theory-of-probability-second-edition-book-b-v-gnedenko-9781614277101","title":"The Theory of Probability [Second Edition]","description":"2014 Reprint of 1963 Second Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Gnedenko was a Soviet mathematician and a student of Kolmogorov. He is perhaps best known for his work with Kolmogorov, and his contributions to the study of probability theory, such as the Fisher-Tippett-Gnedenko theorem. He was a leading member of the Russian school of probability theory and statistics. He also worked on applications of statistics to reliability and quality control in manufacturing. This is perhaps Gnedenko's most famous book and first appeared in Russian in 1950. Written in a clear and concise manner, the book was very successful in providing a first introduction to probability and statistics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51039109808401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039112823057,"sku":"NIN9781614277101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1614277109.jpg?v=1750992556"},{"product_id":"limit-distributions-for-sums-of-independent-random-variables-book-b-v-gnedenko-9781684225798","title":"Limit Distributions for Sums of Independent Random Variables","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51046070616337,"sku":"NIN9781684225798","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1684225795.jpg?v=1750832352"},{"product_id":"limit-distributions-for-sums-of-independent-random-variables-book-b-v-gnedenko-9781014649485","title":"Limit Distributions for Sums of Independent Random Variables","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
