Introduction to Probability Models

is available in two manageable volumes: an Elementary edition appropriate for undergraduate use and an Advanced edition for graduate use. Together, and through their hallmark exercises and real examples, both versions offer a comprehensive foundation of this key subject with applications across engineering, computer science, management science, the physical and social sciences and operations research. Users will find comprehensive information that introduces them to the foundations of probability modeling and stochastic processes from Random Variables, to Markov Chains and Renewal Theory.
