An Introduction to Probability

What is the probability you'll finish reading a long, perhaps tedious, book on probability? And if you do, what's the probability you'll retain much of that information?From experience, math tutor and teacher Y. Mathew knows the answer is pretty low. That's why she wrote An Introduction to Probability: A Concise Exploration of Core Concepts. This text, slim and accessible, is perfect for readers of all ages and levels curious about and interested in understanding the basic concepts of Probability.Instead of throwing readers into complex theory, Mathew slowly guides readers into the shallows of Probability and moves them deftly into a rich understanding of probability ratios, the Counting Principle, Factorials, Permutations and their associated sample spaces. She has written a math book using metaphors and fresh, clever examples to present Probability in a way that moves the subject out of its usual math box.An Introduction to Probability A Concise Exploration of Core Concepts takes the reader through the primary impulses motivating Probability to understanding how we can predict a single outcome for an event or predict a compound outcome for an event; predict a sequence outcomes, or order of outcomes for an event-and does so in a way that readers can pick up, put down, think about, and return to as time and interest allow.
