Probability: Probability theory is a branch of pure mathematics, and forms the theoretical basis of statistics. In itself, probability theory has some basic objects and their relations (like real num-

Econometrics (the next volume) The textbooks are written as an integrated series, but either can be used as a stand-alone course textbook. This first volume covers intermediate-level mathematical statistics. It is a gentle yet a rigorous treat-ment using calculus but not measure theory.
