Description

Probability An Introduction by Geoffrey Grimmett and D. J. A. Welsh provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of probability and random processes. This textbook is designed for first-year mathematics undergraduates and Masters' students, offering a thorough account of basic probability and its applications. The book covers key topics such as events, random variables, distributions, and the law of large numbers, with an emphasis on rigorous mathematical explanations. It also explores branching processes, random walks, continuous-time random processes, and Markov chains in discrete time. With its updated presentation and new sections, this second edition ensures comprehensive coverage of major university syllabi. Suitable for a first course in probability and a follow-up course in random processes, Probability An Introduction is enriched with simple exercises and problems taken from final examinations at Cambridge and Oxford.
