RandomPhenomenaFundamentals ofProbability andStatistics forEngineersBabatunde A. OgunnaikeUniversity of Delaware, Newark,USA

Many of the problems thatengineers face involve ran-domly varying phenomena.But if characterized properly, even such randomnessand the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorousmathematical analysis. This classroom-tested text pro-vides students with a fundamental understanding andworking knowledge of how to model and analyze ran-dom phenomena. Basing his approach on the princi-ple of theoretical foundations before application, theauthor explains how to use probability and statisticsappropriately to deal with uncertainty in engineeringproblems.
