Authors: W.J. DeCoursey
Description:
This book has been written to meet the needs of two different groups of readers. On
one hand, it is suitable for practicing engineers in industry who need a better understanding
or a practical review of probability and statistics. On the other hand, this
book is eminently suitable as a textbook on statistics and probability for engineering
students.Areas of practical knowledge based on the fundamentals of probability and
statistics are developed using a logical and understandable approach which appeals to
the reader’s experience and previous knowledge rather than to rigorous mathematical
development. The only prerequisites for this book are a good knowledge of algebra
and a first course in calculus. The book includes many solved problems showing
applications in all branches of engineering, and the reader should pay close attention
to them in each section. The book can be used profitably either for private study or in
a class.
This book contains more than enough material for a one-semester or one-quarter
course for engineering students, so an instructor can choose which topics to include.
Sections on use of the computer can be left for later individual study or class study if
so desired, but readers will find these sections using Excel very useful.
