This book provides an introduction into the mathematical concepts and tools necessary for understanding the theory of probability and the dynamics of stochastic processes central to a number of application areas in engineering sciences, biology medicine and finance. The material covered in the book, however, is particularly suited to an undergraduate programme in electronics and communications engineering, for it focuses on probability and the random variable, on random processes, linear systems and probabilistic tools for modelling of noise, which are of direct relevance to this branch of engineering. Each topic is introduced with the fundamental concepts and underlying theories in a concise manner, and is then followed up with several worked-out examples for developing problem-solving skills in the learner. Many of the problems have been drawn from previous years” examination papers to give students an exposure to the variety and kinds typically encountered in exam situations; the focus of the selection is to train them in the use of explicit probability distributions for solving engineering and physics problems.
