Description
Ross's classic bestseller, Introduction to Probability Models, has been used extensively by professionals and as the
primary text for a first undergraduate course in applied probability. It provides an introduction to elementary probability theory and
stochastic processes, and shows how probability theory can be applied to the study of phenomena in fields such as engineering, computer
science, management science, the physical and social sciences, and operations research. With the addition of several new sections relating
to actuaries, this text is highly recommended by the Society of Actuaries.
Audience
Professionals and students in actuarial science, engineering, operations research, and other fields in applied probability.
