Knowing the OddsAn Introduction to Probability\nAuthor(s): John B. Walsh\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: American Mathematical Society, United States\nImprint: American Mathematical Society\nISBN-13: 9781470473877, 978-1470473877\nSynopsis\nThis book covers in a leisurely manner all the standard material that one would want in a full year probability course with a slant towards applications in financial analysis at the graduate or senior undergraduate honors level. It contains a fair amount of measure theory and real analysis built in but it introduces sigma-fields, measure theory, and expectation in an especially elementary and intuitive way. A large variety of examples and exercises in each chapter enrich the presentation in the text.
