Wolfgang Schwarz - 40 Puzzles and Problems in Probability and Mathematical Statistics
Published: 2007-12-20 | ISBN: 0387735119 | PDF | 124 pages | 3 MB
This book is based on the view that cognitive skills are best acquired by solving challenging, non-standard probability problems.
Many puzzles and problems presented here are either new within a problem solving context (although as topics in fundamental research they are long known) or are variations of classical problems which follow directly from elementary concepts. A small number of particularly instructive problems is taken from previous sources which in this case are generally given. This book will be a handy resource for professors looking for problems to assign, for undergraduate math students, and for a more general audience of amateur scientists.
