Description for Probability for Physicists (Graduate Texts in Physics)
Hardcover. Introducing probability, statistics and random quantities for physicists, this book focuses on applications in physics and other natural sciences throughout. As well as random variables, distributions, expected values and statistics, it discusses entropy, Markov processes and basic random number generation and Monte-Carlo methods. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 415 pages, 113 black & white illustrations, 29 colour illustrations, 30 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBWH; PHS; PHU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 24. Weight in Grams: 806.
This book is designed as a practical and intuitive introduction to probability, statistics and random quantities for physicists. The book aims at getting to the main points by a clear, hands-on exposition supported by well-illustrated and worked-out examples. A strong focus on applications in physics and other natural sciences is maintained throughout. In addition to basic concepts of random variables, distributions, expected values and statistics, the book discusses the notions of entropy, Markov processes, and fundamentals of random number generation and Monte-Carlo methods.
