Book Descriptions:
This textbook on applied probability is intended for graduate students in applied mathematics, biostatistics, computational biology, computer science, physics, and statistics. It presupposes knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and elementary probability theory. Given these prerequisites, Applied Probability presents a unique blend of theory and applications, with special emphasis on mathematical modeling, computational techniques, and examples from the biological sciences. Chapter 1 reviews elementary probability and provides a brief survey of relevant results from measure theory. Chapter 2 is an extended essay on calculating expectations. Chapter 3 deals with probabilistic applications of convexity, inequalities, and optimization theory. Chapters 4 and 5 touch on combinatorics and combinatorial optimization. Chapters 6 through 11 present core material on stochastic processes. If supplemented with appropriate sections from Chapters 1 and 2, there is sufficient material here for a traditional semester-long course in stochastic processes covering the basics of Poisson processes, Markov chains, branching processes, martingales, and diffusion processes. Finally, Chapters 12 and 13 develop the Chen-Stein method of Poisson approximation and connections between probability and number theory. Kenneth Lange is Professor of Biomathematics and Human Genetics and Chair of the Department of Human Genetics at the UCLA School of Medicine. He has held appointments at the University of New Hampshire, MIT, Harvard, and the University of Michigan. While at the University of Michigan, he was the Pharmacia & Upjohn Foundation Professor of Biostatistics. His research interests include human genetics, population modeling, biomedical imaging, computational statistics, and applied stochastic processes. Springer-Verlag published his books Numerical Analysis for Statisticians and Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Genetic Analysis Second Edition, in 1999 and 2002, respectively.

From reader reviews:

Robert Clift:

What do you about book? It is not important together with you? Or just adding material when you want something to explain what you problem? How about your spare time? Or are you busy person?

How to get the good score toefl, or how to teach your children, there are many kinds of book that you can get now. The authors these days always try to improve their ability in writing, they also doing some research before they write on their book. One of them is this Applied Probability (Springer Texts in Statistics).

Olga Andres:

Reading a book for being new life style in this season; every people loves to study a book. When you read a book you can get a lot of benefit. When you read books, you can improve your knowledge, simply because book has a lot of information upon it. The information that you will get depend on what forms of book that you have read. If you would like get information about your research, you can read education books, but if you want to entertain yourself read a fiction books, this sort of us novel, comics, and also soon. The Applied Probability (Springer Texts in Statistics) provide you with a new experience in looking at a book.

Carolyn Alcantara:

Publication is one of source of understanding. We can add our knowledge from it. Not only for students but additionally native or citizen have to have book to know the update information of year to be able to year. As we know those books have many advantages. Beside all of us add our knowledge, may also bring us to around the world. By the book Applied Probability (Springer Texts in Statistics) we can have more advantage. Don't one to be creative people? For being creative person must like to read a book. Only choose the best book that suited with your aim. Don't be doubt to change your life at this book Applied Probability (Springer Texts in Statistics). You can more appealing than now.
