Synopsis
Unlike most probability textbooks, which are often written only for the mathematically-oriented students, Mark Ward and Ellen Gundlach’s Introduction to Probability makes the subject much more accessible, reaching out to a much wider introductory-level audience. Its approachable and conversational style, highly visual approach, practical examples, and step-by-step problem solving procedures help all kinds of students understand the basics of probability theory and its broad applications in the outside world.
This textbook has been extensively class-tested throughout its preliminary edition in order to make it even more effective at building confidence in students who have viable problem-solving potential but are not fully comfortable in the realm of mathematics. Its rich pedagogy, combined with a thoughtful structure, provides an accessible introduction to this complex subject.

Review
Students liked book much better than any other text for this material; it is much more approachable and usable. The word 'student–friendly' in the book's title is justified. The book is flexible enough to allow instructors to vary from the book's presentation a bit if they choose to.'― Frederi Viens, Purdue University
'Readable and accessible. Well explained. Lots of decent examples and exercises with topics that resonate with students (songs on iPods, making pizzas, etc). More 'up to date' for today's students than Ross, and 'just enough' material for the course.'― Pat Humphrey, Georgia Southern University
