Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists Reviews

As a textbook, it provides a solid foundation for probability and statistics with introduction to some useful applied topics. -Roger M. Sauter, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, in TECHNOMETRICS, VOL. 47, 2005 Ross's book is an excellent introduction to classical Probability Theory and Statistics. The explanations are absolutely clear, well chosen examples help students to understand the point of each section. Ross is a classical author of probability texts, most of his books became Bibles of instructors and students. This text is no exception... What it covers is absolutely elegant...I simply love it. - Gabor Szekely, Bowling Green State University Throughout the book there are numerous homework problems at varying levels of difficulty. In my opinion they do an excellent job of testing the students' grasp of the material as well as being educational, in the...sense of preparing students for examinations. - Charles Dunkl, University of Virginia
