书籍简介

从经典基础到先进的现代理论，这本自成一体的概率学综合指南将数学证明、历史背景和丰富详细的说明性应用交织在一起。本书自始至终采用定理发现的方法，将每个证明放在其历史背景中，并始终强调基本的证明方法。每个主题都在一个模块化的框架中呈现，将基本概念与工作实例、问题和题外话结合起来，虽然在数学上很严格，但不需要专门的或高级的数学背景。

作为核心材料的补充，有80多个丰富的概率论实际应用，这些应用来自经典和现代的广泛领域，每一个都是为说明形式结果的宏伟范围而量身定做的。在不牺牲数学的严谨性和历史的丰富性的前提下，这本富有洞察力的书为所有工程师、计算机科学家和数学家提供了坚实的实用概率基础，是一本迷人的参考书和资源。

From classical foundations to advanced modern theory, this self-contained and comprehensive guide to probability weaves together mathematical proofs, historical context and richly detailed illustrative applications. A theorem discovery approach is used throughout, setting each proof within its historical setting and is accompanied by a consistent emphasis on elementary methods of proof. Each topic is presented in a modular framework, combining fundamental concepts with worked examples, problems and digressions which, although mathematically rigorous, require no specialised or advanced mathematical background.

Augmenting this core material are over 80 richly embellished practical applications of probability theory, drawn from a broad spectrum of areas both classical and modern, each tailor-made to illustrate the magnificent scope of the formal results. Providing a solid grounding in practical probability, without sacrificing mathematical rigour or historical richness, this insightful book is a fascinating reference and essential resource, for all engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians.

作者简介

文卡特斯（Santosh S. Venkatesh）于1981年在印度孟买的印度理工学院获得电气工程荣誉学士学位，并于1986年在加州帕萨迪纳的加州理工学院获得电气工程博士学位。 他发现博士生要离开他们的母校，对此感到不安，于是他潜逃到美国的对岸，加入了宾夕法尼亚大学的教师队伍，担任电气和系统工程教授的名义职务，目前是教师申诉委员会的主席，并曾担任过大学教务委员会的主席。 从那时起，除了到加州理工学院、贝尔实验室、西门子企业研究部、赫尔辛基理工学院、阿尔托大学、微软研究院和阿育王大学访问之外，他一直在宾夕法尼亚大学的走廊上徘徊。

Santosh S. Venkatesh received the B.Tech. with Honors in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India, in 1981, and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, in 1986. Disconcerted by his discovery that doctoral students are expected to leave their parent institutions eventually, he absconded to the opposite coast of the United States and joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania where he holds the titular post of Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, is the current Chair of the Faculty Grievance Commission, and has served as Chair of the University’s Faculty Senate. He has haunted the corridors at Penn since then excepting for visiting forays to Caltech, Bell Labs, Siemens Corporate Research, the Helsinki Institute of Technology, Aalto University, Microsoft Research, and Ashoka University.
