【原文書】 書名 : Probability, Random Variables & Stochastic Processes 4/E(IE) 作者 : Athanasios Papoulis, S. Unnikrishna Pillai 出版社 : McGrasHill 出版日期 : 2002/01 ISBN : 9780071226615 Synopsis The fourth edition of "Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes" has been updated significantly from the previous edition, and it now includes co-author S. Unnikrishna Pillai of Polytechnic University. The book is intended for a senior/graduate level course in probability and is aimed at students in electrical engineering, math, and physics departments. The authors' approach is to develop the subject of probability theory and stochastic processes as a deductive discipline and to illustrate the theory with basic applications of engineering interest. Approximately 1/3 of the text is new material - this material maintains the style and spirit of previous editions. In order to bridge the gap between concepts and applications, a number of additional examples have been added for further clarity, as well as several new topics.
