Praise from Reviewers:
"This is a fascinating introduction to applications from a variety of disciplines. Any curious student will love this book."
- Jean LeMaire, University of Pennsylvania
"I think Ross has done an admirable job of covering the breadth of applied probability. Ross
writes fantastic problems which really force the students to think divergentlyThe examples, like the exercises are great."
- Matt Carlton, Cal Polytechnic Institute
"This book may be a model in the organization of the education process. I would definitely rate
this text to be the best probability models book at its level of difficultyfar more sophisticated and deliberate than its competitors."
- Kris Ostaszewski, University of Illinois

Reader Reviews
The first four chapters alone (intro, random variables, conditonal probability, markov chains) are worth the price of the book. The author packs each chapter with very interesting examples and problems. The one I found most interesting was his probabilistic analysis of the 2-SAT and SAT problems of computer science. Here he gives an informal math argument as to why 2-SAT is polynomial time decidable and why SAT should be intractable.
