This book usesPython code instead of math, and discrete approximations instead of con-tinuous mathematics. As a result, what would be an integral in a math bookbecomes a summation, and most operations on probability distributions aresimple Think this presentation is easier to understand, at least for people with pro-gramming skills.
Also on the topic of style, I write Bayes's theorem with an s after the apos-trophe, which is preferred in some style guides and deprecated in others. I don't have a strong preference. I had to choose one, and this is the one I chose. And nally one typographical note: throughout the book, I use PMF and CDF
