Description for Applied Probability
Hardback. With new chapters on asymptotic and numerical methods, as well as an appendix on the finer points of the mathematical theory, this second edition emphasizes mathematical modeling, computational techniques, and examples from the biological sciences Series: Springer Texts in Statistics. Num Pages: 452 pages, biography. BIC Classification: KCHS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 25. Weight in Grams: 1790.
Applied Probability presents a unique blend of theory and applications, with special emphasis on mathematical modeling, computational techniques, and examples from the biological sciences. It can serve as a textbook for graduate students in applied mathematics, biostatistics, computational biology, computer science, physics, and statistics. Readers should have a working knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and elementary probability theory.
Chapter 1 reviews elementary probability and provides a brief survey of relevant results from measure theory. Chapter 2 is an extended essay on calculating expectations. Chapter 3 deals with probabilistic applications of convexity, inequalities, and optimization ... Read more
