Description
This text uses a "hands-on" approach to teaching probabaility that enables students to apply theory as it is learned. There is extensive modelling, which aims to give students an understanding of the subject, rather than exposure to abstract theory. The use of examples and case studies from "everyday life" aims to show the connections between theoretical concepts and "realistic" problems.
