Yes, it was authored

Seriously though, we don't know your level of math and if you're asking for intro stats it doesn't sound high. I'm not convinced a book alone will help you. Find course material from a good university and see what they have for intro courses? Watch YouTube videos following a university course? If one of those seems good and you want the extra content then see what they use

I'm currently studying CS and already took a class of discrete mathematics. The thing is, probability was a very fun and interesting to me, so I decided to start reading about the topic. Also, next semester I will have a class of probability.

Is Casella and Berger good?
What about Kolmogorov's Foundations of the Theory of Probability?

>> No.15054597

>>15054025
There are only two valid responses: Kolmogorovs Foundation of Probabilty or Kiyoshi Itos Introduction to Probabilty. You have to be literally retarded to buy anything else

>> No.15054603

>>15054597
Sounds convincing, could you elaborate further?

>> No.15054608

>>15054603
Kolmogorov defined axioms which are still used nowadays by any other Probabilist literature because he did foundational work nobody else did. Ito on other hand is known for stochastic integration which involves a deep understanding of probabilty and therefore did pioneer work in one of the most interesting research areas of today. You have to be fucking retarded to choose anyone else over them

Feller, Vol 1.

This book is for retards aka CS students.

The former is not for probability. The latter is meme.

>> No.15054901

>>15054742
why is it a meme?

>> No.15054939

>>15054901
It's a meme because you wouldn't read Newton to learn Calculus. It's a less than 100 page probability "book" with no exercises. It's really a research paper not a book.

Is Meyer's Introductory probability and statistical applications a good intro to probability?

>> No.15055043

>>15054961
Don't know but it's generally hard to go wrong with non-measure probability books. It's an extremely simple to understand subject. The major difficulty is the ingenuity required for solving problems.
