It presents the fundamental concepts in a step-by-step manner, and offers remarks and warnings for deeper insights. The chapters include basic examples, which are revisited as the new concepts are introduced. To aid learning, figures and diagrams are used to help readers grasp the concepts, and the solutions to the exercises and problems. Further, a table format is also used where relevant for better comparison of the ideas and formulae. The first part of the book introduces readers to the essentials of probability, including combinatorial analysis, conditional probability, and discrete and continuous random variable. The second part then covers fundamental stochastic processes, including point, counting, renewal and regenerative processes, the Poisson process, Markov chains, queuing models and reliability theory. Primarily intended for undergraduate engineering students, it is also useful for graduate-level students wanting to refresh their knowledge of the basics of probability and stochastic processes. 606 $aMarkov processes 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aDiscrete mathematics 606 $aSecurity systems 606 $aMarkov Process 606 $aEngineering Mathematics 606 $aDiscrete Mathematics 606 $aSecurity Science and Technology 615 0$aMarkov processes. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aDiscrete mathematics. 615 0$aSecurity systems. 615 14$aMarkov Process. 615 24$aEngineering Mathematics. 615 24$aDiscrete Mathematics. 615 24$aSecurity Science and Technology. 676 $a519.2 700 $aBas$b Esra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0781000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910360854903321 996 $aBasics of Probability and Stochastic Processes$91668169 997 $aUNINA
