Description
The role of probability in computer science has been growing for years and, in lieu of a tailored textbook, many courses have employed
a variety of similar, but not entirely applicable, alternatives. To meet the needs of the computer science graduate student (and the
advanced undergraduate), best-selling author Sheldon Ross has developed the premier probability text for aspiring computer scientists
involved in computer simulation and modeling. The math is precise and easily understood. As with his other texts, Sheldon Ross presents
very clear explanations of concepts and covers those probability models that are most in demand by, and applicable to, computer science
and related majors and practitioners.
Audience
Computer professionals and software programmers.
