Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is an introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory with practice. Based on the author’s belief that only "hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive understanding, the approach is to motivate the need for theory using MATLAB examples, followed by theory and analysis, and finally descriptions of "real-world" examples to acquaint the reader with a wide variety of applications. The latter is intended to answer the usual question "Why do we have to study this?" Other salient features are:
*heavy reliance on computer simulation for illustration and student exercises
*the incorporation of MATLAB programs and code segments
*discussion of discrete random variables followed by continuous random variables to minimize confusion
*summary sections at the beginning of each chapter
*in-line equation explanations
*warnings on common errors and pitfalls
*over 750 problems designed to help the reader assimilate and extend the concepts
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is intended for undergraduate and first-year graduate students in engineering. The practicing engineer as well as others having the appropriate mathematical background will also benefit from this book.
