It can be used by both students and practitioners in engineering, various sciences, finance, and other related fields. It provides a clear and intuitive approach to these topics while maintaining mathematical accuracy. The book covers: Basic concepts such as random experiments, probability axioms, conditional probability, and counting methods Single and multiple random variables (discrete, continuous, and mixed), as well as moment-generating functions, characteristic functions, random vectors, and inequalities Limit theorems and convergence Introduction to Bayesian and classical statistics Random processes including processing of random signals, Poisson processes, discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains, and Brownian motion Simulation using MATLAB and R (online chapters) The book contains a large number of solved exercises. The dependency between different sections of this book has been kept to a minimum in order to provide maximum flexibility to instructors and to make the book easy to read for students. Examples of applications-such as engineering, finance, everyday life, etc.-are included to aid in motivating the subject ER -
