{"product_id":"fundamentals-of-probability-and-statistics-for-engineers-isbn-9780470868133","title":"Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers","description":"This textbook differs from others in the field in that it has been prepared very much with students and their needs in mind, having been classroom tested over many years.  It is a true “learner’s book” made for students who require a deeper understanding of probability and statistics. It presents the fundamentals of the subject along with concepts of probabilistic modelling, and the process of model selection, verification and analysis.  Furthermore, the inclusion of more than 100 examples and 200 exercises (carefully selected from a wide range of topics), along with a solutions manual for instructors, means that this text is of real value to students and lecturers across a range of engineering disciplines.  \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the fundamentals in probability and statistics along with relevant applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the concept of probabilistic modelling and the process of model selection, verification and analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefinitions and theorems are carefully stated and topics rigorously treated.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a chapter on regression analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers design of experiments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates practical problem solving throughout the book with numerous examples and exercises purposely selected from a variety of engineering fields.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes an accompanying online Solutions Manual for instructors containing complete step-by-step solutions to all problems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  Preface.  \u003cp\u003e1.

T. Soong\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers, published by Wiley.   Many books are already available on the general topic of 'probability and statistics for engineers and scientists', so why choose this one? This textbook differs in that it has been prepared very much with students and their needs in mind. Having been classroom tested over many years, it is a true \"learner's book\" made for students who require a deeper understanding of probability and statistics and the process of model selection, verification and analysis. Emphasising both sound development of the principles and their engineering applications, this book offers purposely selected practical examples from many different fields.   \u003cp\u003eThis textbook: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a sound treatment of the fundamentals in probability and statistics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the concept of probabilistic modelling and the process of model selection, verification and analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides self-contained material with smooth and logical transition from chapter to chapter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes relevant and motivational applications in every chapter with numerous examples and problems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates practical problem solving throughout the book with stimulating exercises, including answers to selected problems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes an accompanying online Solutions Manual for instructors with complete step-by-step solutions to all problems.
