Probability

Table of Contents

Part 1A Lent

This is the second term of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos.

Course

This is only our first of many more probability courses in the Tripos.

Recommended books

The books marked with † are well suited for the course and here that is the Burkill book

  • W. Feller An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Applications, Vol. I. Wiley 1968
  • † G. Grimmett and D. Welsh Probability: An Introduction. Oxford University Press 2nd Edition 2014
  • † S. Ross A First Course in Probability. Prentice Hall 2009
  • D.R. Stirzaker Elementary Probability. Cambridge University Press 1994/2003

Strategy

The Grimmet and Welsh book has an accompanying book with 1000 problems (and solutions). I will also do this book since it focuses on computing and is also written like a workbook.
