I highly recommend "Introduction to Probability" to anyone preparing to teach an introductory course on stochastic systems, probability, and stochastic processes. Jaynes ; and its humor. This is a must buy for people who would like to learn elementary probability. The only background you need is basic series and calculus.
This is the best probability book I have seen. This is an outstanding book that helps to make the subject of probability come alive Indeed, even those studying probability from a more theoretical standpoint may find this book useful as a supplementary resource It is a terrific resource for instructors looking for ways to illustrate probabilistic concepts to their students this is the capacity in which I have used the book.
With the addition of the chapters on statistical inference in the second edition, it is likely to be a valuable reference for practitioners as well, particularly those seeking to refresh the connections between statistical methods and basic probability. The chapter on estimation, added for the second edition, is some of the most interesting material in the book, and covers both frequentist and bayesian estimation.
Having skimmed various other textbooks while teaching a semester-long course with this one six times, I have come to believe that there is a large audience for which this is the best available textbook. Because of a disciplined avoidance of unnecessary mathematical technicalities and flourishes, the book has a fast pace without being difficult to read.
The end result is a solid grounding in the foundations of probability along with introductions to random processes and statistical inference in a remarkably concise volume. Course Adoptions Written by two professors of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and members of the prestigious US National Academy of Engineering, the book has been widely adopted for classroom use in introductory probability courses in the U.

Provides many theoretical problems that extend the book's coverage and enhance its mathematical foundation solutions are included in the text. Provides many problems that enhance the understanding of the basic material, together with web-posted solutions.
Is supplemented by additional web-based unsolved problems. Has been developed through extensive classroom use and experience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This book explains every single concept it enunciates. This is its main strength, deep explanation, and not just examples that "happen" to explain. The probability to misinterpret a concept or not understand it is just Also of invaluable help is the book's web site, where solutions to the problems can be found-as well as much more information pertaining to probability, and also more problem sets.
From an instructor's perspective, "Introduction to Probability" is easy to use.
