probability , statistics , and StochasticProcessesProbability, statistics , andStochasticProcessesPeter OlofssonMikael AnderssonA Wiley-Interscience PublicationJOHN WILEY & SONS, York / Chichester / Weinheim / Brisbane / Singapore / TorontoPrefaceThe BookIn November 2003, I was completing a review of an undergraduate textbook in prob-ability and statistics . In the enclosed evaluation sheet was the question Have youever considered writing a textbook? and I suddenly realized that the answer was Yes, and had been for quite some time. For several years I had been teaching acourse on calculus-based probability and statistics mainly for mathematics, science,and engineering students. Other than the basic probabilitytheory, my goal was to in-clude topics from two areas: statistical inference and Stochastic Processes . For manystudents this was the only probability / statistics course they would ever take, and Ifound it desirable that they were familiar with confidence intervals and the maximumlikelihood method, as well as Markov chains and queueing theory.
