 How is this getting good reviews?
So from a student that actually is using this book, this is terrible. Very few examples, skimming over content, and no answers! WHAT GOOD IS THIS BOOK IF YOU ONLY USE IT TO GET YOUR HOMEWORK PROBLEMS FROM THE CLASS?! I've learned more from searching wikipedia on the subject than reading this book. Maybe schools should choose books based on their content and their help to students rather than some sort of corporate money game with the book companies. I could only imagine those are the people giving this book a good review, or they have never even cracked it open and tried to learn probability for their first time from it. Thank you for teaching me nothing and wasting my time.
 Very Well-written Book
The text was very plain and the author actually makes it a point to expalin most of the symbols and notation. The book is written from a practcial, not theoretical, perspective although the theory is represented via proofs. Reads easily, but the examples are priceless.
 Relatively good
Although the examples are good, theorems, properties, and so on, are nicely organized and highlighted, there are no solutions for problems.
It is not just this book, but I'm really tired of spending hours upon hours doing questions for which I will have no idea if I completed them correctly. I like to do homework to identify and fill the gaps in my knowledge, not to do best guesses and merely hope that I will eventually get the solutions against which to compare my answers. By then, the exam (or quiz) is already right around the bend and new material is already being covered.
Not so much...
Hardly a "friendly" and "introductory" text. The language, examples and feel of this book are more suited for someone with prior training in this subject. For the student facing the unfortunate situation of having to learn with this text it may be better to get another book and learn the material from it rather than waste a large amount of time with this one. For folks who already understand the subject I'm sure it's quite good.
 GREAT BOOK
This is an EXCELLENT book for learning probability and random process.
It is clear, lot of examples, lot of end of chapter problems. You can solve all the problems once you have mastered the concepts in the chapters.
Probability theory is inevitable if you want to learn signal processing, communication , or control theory.
Other famous books like Stark & Woods are more difficult than this one, you need to learn this book (all the theory and problems) thoroughly to learn advanced books like Stark & woods,Steven kay (estimation / detection).
As one review complains the introduction says the subject is difficult. Well its absolutely true, probability is certainly not an easy subject. Its more difficult that other subjects such as DSP, electromagnetics etc.
