Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Probability theory has been extraordinarily successful at describing a variety of phenomena, from the behaviour of gases to the transmission of messages, and is, besides, a powerful tool with applications throughout mathematics. At its heart are a number of concepts familiar in one guise or another to many: Gauss' bell-shaped curve, the law of averages, and so on, concepts that crop up in so many settings they are in some sense universal. This universality is predicted by probability theory to a remarkable degree. This book explains that theory and investigates its ramifications. Assuming a good working knowledge of basic analysis, real and complex, the author maps out a route from basic probability, via random walks, Brownian motion, the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, to aspects of ergodic theorems, equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, communication over a noisy channel, and random matrices. Numerous examples and exercises enrich the text. Probability theory is explained here by one of its leading authorities. McKean constructs a clear path through the subject and sheds light on a variety of interesting topics in which probability theory plays a key role. Anyone who wants to learn or use probability will benefit from reading this book. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
