Probability A Lively Introduction

'This is an attractive textbook for an introductory probability course at the upper undergraduate level. It covers not only the standard material for such a course (discrete probability, the axioms of probability, conditional probability, discrete and continuous random variables, jointly distributed random variables, limit theorems, Markov chains, etc.) but also some topics that might be considered more unusual, such as Kelly betting, renewal-reward stochastic processes, and the law of iterated logarithms. Topics from statistics (confidence intervals, Student-t distribution, Baysian inference, etc.) also appear. The book is quite well-written, nicely motivated, demonstrates considerable enthusiasm for the material, and gives lots of examples of the usefulness of probability. Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews
