<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This introductory text features well-chosen problems and exercises that illustrate the algebras of events, discrete random variables, characteristic functions, and limit theorems. Prerequisites include knowledge of differential and integral calculus as well as the theory of real and complex functions. An extensive appendix introduces information theory. 1970 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Alfred Renyi: The Happy Mathematician <br></b>Alfred Renyi (1921-1970) was one of the giants of twentieth-century mathematics who, during his relatively short life, made major contributions to combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, and other fields. <p>Reviewing <i>Probability Theory</i> and <i>Foundations of Probability</i> simultaneously for the <i>Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society</i> in 1973, Alberto R. Galmarino wrote: <p>"Both books complement each other well and have, as said before, little overlap. They represent nearly opposite approaches to the question of how the theory should be presented to beginners. Rényi excels in both approaches. <i>Probability Theory</i> is an imposing textbook. <i>Foundations</i> is a masterpiece." <p><b> <p>In the Author's Own Words: <br></b>"If I feel unhappy, I do mathematics to become happy. If I am happy, I do mathematics to keep happy." <p>"Can the difficulty of an exam be measured by how many bits of information a student would need to pass it? This may not be so absurd in the encyclopedic subjects but in mathematics it doesn't make any sense since things follow from each other and, in principle, whoever knows the bases knows everything. All of the results of a mathematical theorem are in the axioms of mathematics in embryonic form, aren't they?" -- Alfred Rényi
