In this undergraduate text, the author has distilled the core of probabilistic ideas and methods for Computer and Data science.
He also contributed engaging Probability puzzles to The New York Times\' former Numberplay column.
In 2008, he received the prestigious INFORMS Expository Writing Award for his work.
Answers to all problems and worked-out solutions to selected problems are also provided.
Henk Tijms is the author of several textbooks in the area of applied Probability and stochastic optimization.
Several of the problems extend previously covered material.
Numerous instructive problems scattered throughout the text are given along with problem-solving strategies.
It provides insights and motivates the students by telling them why Probability works and how to apply it.
The unique features of the book are as follows: This book contains many worked examples.
The book emphasizes probabilistic and computational thinking rather than theorems and proofs.
