{"product_id":"probability-theory-9780486458670","title":"Probability Theory","description":"This introductory text features well-chosen problems and exercises that illustrate the algebras of events, discrete random variables, characteristic functions, and limit theorems. Prerequisites include knowledge of differential and integral calculus as well as the theory of real and complex functions.
