This textbook explores probability and stochastic processes at a level
that does not require any prior knowledge except basic calculus. It
presents the fundamental concepts in a step-by-step manner, and offers
remarks and warnings for deeper insights. The chapters include basic
examples, which are revisited as the new concepts are introduced. To
aid learning, figures and diagrams are used to help readers grasp the
concepts, and the solutions to the exercises and problems. Further, a
table format is also used where relevant for better comparison of the
ideas and formulae. The first part of the book introduces readers to
the essentials of probability, including combinatorial analysis,
conditional probability, and discrete and continuous random variable.
The second part then covers fundamental stochastic processes,
including point, counting, renewal and regenerative processes, the
Poisson process, Markov chains, queuing models and reliability theory.
Primarily intended for undergraduate engineering students, it is also
useful for graduate-level students wanting to refresh their knowledge
of the basics of probability and stochastic processes.
