S. Unnikrishna Pillai

Athanasios Papoulis

The fourth edition of Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes has been updated significantly from the previous edition, and it now includes co-author S. Unnikrishna Pillai of Polytechnic University. The book is intended for a senior/graduate level course in probability and is aimed at students in electrical engineering, math, and physics departments. The authors' approach is to develop the subject of probability theory and stochastic processes as a deductive discipline and to illustrate the theory with basic applications of engineering interest. Approximately 1/3 of the text is new material--this material maintains the style and spirit of previous editions. In order to bridge the gap between concepts and applications, a number of additional examples have been added for further clarity, as well as several new topics.

Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes with Errata Sheet

The Third Edition emphasizes a concentrated revision of Parts II & III (leaving Part I virtually intact). The later sections show greater elaboration of the basic concepts of stochastic processes, typical sequences of random variables, and a greater emphasis on realistic methods of spectral estimation and analysis. There are problems, exercises, and applications throughout. Aimed at senior/graduate students in electrical engineering, math, and physics departments.

Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes

Graduate-level text covers signals, systems, and transforms; selected topics, including Hilbert transforms and frequency modulation; and data smoothing and spectral estimation. Many drawings and about 100 problems, all with solutions. 1977 edition.
