Material for 18.175,  spring 2012

 

Textbook:   The  text is my  Probability Theory, an Analytic View, 2nd ed.   which is available from Amazon or directly from Cambridge Univ. Press.   There are a lot of annoying errors in the book, some of which are addressed in errata and have been removed in the second printing. 




Assignments You are expected to do all the assigned problems and to hand in those followed by an asterisk.  Late homework will not be accpted. Your grade will be based on your performance on the homeworks.  It would be wise to consult the errata list before struggling too long on a mis-stated problem
