Schaum's Outline of Probability, Random Variables, and Random Processes, Second Edition (Schaum's Outline Series)

Customer Reviews:

better than books many times its price

By A Customer - January 10, 2002

I purchased around $200 worth of textbooks on Probability and Random Processes for a graduate level course I took. Of those books, this one got the most use. It summed up topics concisely and provided adequate examples with enough detail to actually show me how to get an answer. If you are getting regular textbooks on this topic, it would be well worth your while to pay the extra small price for this handy guide. It will be well worth the money.

Do the exercises!

By Selwyn - March 31, 2005

If you are taking a course on probability and stochastic process, and are struggling in your course, then look no further. Start working on the problems in this study guide. Like many other reviewers of this study guide, I was one of those "saved" by this book. (My course text was Papoulis.)

Let me outline the pros of this book:

+ Consistent mathematical notations and conventions

+ Systematic and organized (easily identifiable chapters, sections, and subsections that flow logically from one to another)

+ Excellent summary of difficult concepts at the beginning of each chapter

+ Every end-of-chapter problem adds to your understanding (I'm not saying "most of them", I mean "every"!)

+ Every problem solution is concise and well-presented

The only suggestion to the book:

- Add more intermediate/advanced material into this study guide (e.g. more on Markov Process/Markov chain, Martingales, Poisson... read more

Increasing the probability of solving probability problems

By A Customer - September 13, 2000

After being out of school for ten years, this book proved to be essential for my M.S.E.E. course in Random Signals. This book concisely summed my undergraduate engineering Signals class with solved problems. In addition, the solved problems acted as a guideline for my Master's class. I felt that I could not have gotten through my class without this book. The reason why I ordered this book in the first place was the advice of my professor. My professor is a Ph.D. in the telecommunications workplace, acting as an adjunct professor. This working Ph.D. continues to use his well-worn Schaum's as a reference.
