Reviews for An Introduction to Probability and Statistical Inference

""The present book is an introductory textbook in probability and statistical inference with a year of calculus and basics of linear algebra as the only prerequisites…. Occasionally, the reader is referred to the above-mentioned textbook for proofs and more comprehensive treatment of some topics. As the author states, the first 7 chapters can be used independently for an introductory probability course."" --Andreas N. Philippou, zbMATHOpen
