More DescriptionNewcomers to the world of probability face several potential stumbling blocks: they often struggle with key concepts, they must regularly confront integration, and they must labor over lengthy, cumbersome calculations. Introduction to Probability with Mathematica is a groundbreaking text that uses a powerful computer algebra system as a pedagogical tool for learning and using probability. The author smoothly integrates the technology with the traditional approach and subject matter, thereby augmenting rather than overpowering it. His clever use of simulation to illustrate concepts and motivate important theorems gives this book an important place in the library of probability theory.
