Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers

Beschreibung

Many books are already available on the general topic of 'probability and statistics for engineers and scientists', so why choose this one? This textbook differs in that it has been prepared very much with students and their needs in mind. Having been classroom tested over many years, it is a true "learner's book" made for students who require a deeper understanding of probability and statistics and the process of model selection, verification and analysis. Emphasising both sound development of the principles and their engineering applications, this book offers purposely selected practical examples from many different fields. This textbook: * Presents a sound treatment of the fundamentals in probability and statistics. * Explains the concept of probabilistic modelling and the process of model selection, verification and analysis. * Provides self-contained material with smooth and logical transition from chapter to chapter. * Includes relevant and motivational applications in every chapter with numerous examples and problems. * Demonstrates practical problem solving throughout the book with stimulating exercises, including answers to selected problems. * Includes an accompanying online Solutions Manual for instructors with complete step-by-step solutions to all problems. (URL) Fundamentals In Applied Probability And Statistics For Engineers provides invaluable support for all engineering students involved in applications of probability, random variables and statistical inference. This book is also an ideal reference for lecturers, educators and newcomers to the field who wish to increase their knowledge of fundamental concepts. Engineering consulting firms will also find the explanations and examples useful.
