A First Course In Probability by Stephen M. Ross
A rigorous yet accessible introduction to probability that progresses from combinatorial methods and axiomatic foundations to conditional probability, independence, and both discrete and continuous random variables, with emphasis on expectation and key distributions such as binomial, Poisson, exponential, and normal. It develops joint distributions, transformations, generating functions, order statistics, and major limit theorems including the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The text balances theory with modeling and problem-solving through numerous examples and exercises, and concludes with applications such as Poisson processes, Markov chains, reliability, and queueing.
