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.
