Publisher Comments:

This text is designed for undergraduate mathematics students or graduate students in the sciences. Each chapter corresponds to a fifty-minute lecture. LECTURES IN ELEMENTARY PROBABILITY THEORY AND STOCHASTIC PROCESSES can be used in a prerequisite course for Statistics (for math majors) or Mathematical Modeling. The first eighteen chapters could be used in a one-quarter course, and the entire text is appropriate for a one-semester course.
