Problems in Probability

By Albert N. Shiryaev and Shiryaev

Book Overview

For the first two editions of Probability (GTM 95), each chapter included a comprehensive and diverse set of relevant exercises. While the work on the third edition was still in progress, it was decided that it would be more appropriate to publish a separate book that would comprise all of the exercises from previous editions, in addition to many new exercises. Most of the material in this book consists of exercises created by Shiryaev, collected and compiled over the course of many years while working on many interesting topics. Many of the exercises included in the book contain helpful hints and other relevant information. An appendix at the end of the book contains a summary of the main results, notation and terminology from probability theory that are used throughout the present book, as well as additional material from combinatorics, potential theory and markov chains.

Introduction to Probability by Dorothy Stein, 4600 Problems in Probability

The book is a fraud. There were less than 300 solved problems and all of these merely repetitions (varying one or two numbers!). Its is disappointing. This book, I would say, is aimed at 8th grade students who require endless repetition before understanding sets in. My money was wasted!!
