Course slides in Powerpoint and a solutions manual are available to qualified instructors from the publisher.
Highlights
Introduction to Probability with RKenneth Baclawski Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2008
The student who masters these two chapters has learned a useful vocabulary of random variables that could be used in developing simulations in biology, economics, and other areas of the natural and social sciences
One especially useful feature of the chapter is the manner in which the author makes connections between uniform, Bernoulli, and Poison random variables
Summary
Introduction to Probability with RKenneth Baclawski Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2008. The presentation is clear but compressed (students should have a good idea of what a logarithm is and why it is useful in working with large factorials) and this particular example deserves supplementary treatment in class.
