An Introduction to Probability: A Concise Exploration of Core Concepts (eBook Edition)

by Y. Mathew

digital

Product description...

An Easy Introduction to Probability

An Introduction to Probability: A Concise Exploration of Core Concepts highlights the fact that the mathematical notion of Probability relies on ratios to give a numeric value to the level of certainty we can have about a particular outcome for an event. As such, the mathematical concept of ratios or fractions, part-whole relationships, is used to begin the exploration of Probability. The book then goes on to explain in simple, direct language, with minimal reliance on complex technical machinery, how to build sample spaces and develop ratios to predict the probability of a selected outcome for an event. An Introduction to Probability: A Concise Exploration of Core Concepts is a reader-friendly exploration of probability. My approach is unique in that I provide extensive verbal explanations of the basic ideas and concepts which underpin Probability with minimal reliance on the usual technical language of Mathematics consisting of symbols and formulae. The text is written to be a gentle, thoughtful, perhaps even playful, exploration of the basic ideas in Probability. This approach is fueled by my desire to explain - not exclusively to present. I think most math books tend to present the material with very sparse or no detailed verbal explanation. In my book, the emphasis is placed on verbally explaining the basic ideas in Probability. I hope the reader finds this approach helpful.
