Houston: University of Texas School of Public Health, 2015. – 675 p.
The book is the lectures on probability. The author taught probability for twenty-five years at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston. His work in cell therapy has exposed him to new applications and problems in probability. One of his project manager, Shelly Sayre raised probing questions about this work that led to the unique design of this book. Probability is written to be a wholly electronic experience. Hyperlinks were used to move from section to section. And these different sequences of links produce different paths through the material i.e., each set of connections represents a different path to learning. For example, one path discussed the discrete probability distributions at an elementary level. Another path leads to more intense computations involving the same distributions. Another produces a measure theoretic discussion of the same distribution. Each path begins with links to other sections that serve as prerequisites, and each ends with links that function well as sequels, enabling the reader to trace out their own path of exposure to this material.
All of the problems and examples are in health care.
