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.
