PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Richard Durrett received his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford in 1976. He taught at the UCLA math department for nine years and at Cornell for twenty-five before moving to Duke in 2010. He is the author of 8 books and almost 200 journal articles, and has supervised more that 40 Ph.D. students. Most of his current research concerns the applications of probability to biology: ecology, genetics, and most recently cancer.
From the reviews of the second edition: “The book consists of six chapters and 265 pages. … Each chapter has a chapter summary before the exercises. The chapter summary restates the theorems of each section and adds short new commentary. … With its many examples and applications, chosen from the broad experience of the author, this book is an excellent text for a course in applied probability.” (Myron Hlynka, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2014) “This is the second edition of introductory text book on stochastic processes by Richard Durrett. … The new edition contains many new examples and problems. The chapters have been reorganized to facilitate the learning process. … The new edition makes the topic of stochastic processes even more accessible for undergraduate students and people coming from fields of applications.” (H. M. Mai, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1244, 2012)
