Book is good but... The book is a solution set for "Probability and Random Processes for Electrical Engineering". It has some solutions, but not all. I would say about 30% of the problems' answers are given, which is good; but it would be better if they can reduce the font size and include more answers. | ||
Useless product buying this is one grave mistake I did..I thought this book will contain all solutions from text book or atleast good explanation to the existing solutions. it has nothing. 10-15 solutions from each chapter is not worth buying at this price. Those 10-15 solutions we can do if we want. The reason for buying solution manual is to have a quick review of all the questions before going to exam.Then what for is this. I strongly recommend not to buy this book. | ||
Don't know why it's getting all these negative reviews... ...maybe I'm just dumb. This was the textbook for a senior/ first-year grad student EE probability course. I found it well-organized and well-written, with plenty of examples designed to illustrate and reinforce important concepts. I cannot answer as to its mathematical rigor, not being a mathematician, but as an engineer I found the derivations thorough (i.e., not a lot of skipped steps or hand waving). Yes, the homework problems at the end of the chapters were harder than the examples: aren't they supposed to be? And yes, not many answers were given in the back of the book, but the nature of the material is such that having the answer doesn't really help you. For worked problems, I highly recommend the Schaum's Outline (which saved my bacon on a number of homework problems). I did very well in that course, and feel that reading this book gave me a firm grasp of the material. | ||
Good book ... stop whining I took Random Processes as an online course, and guess who was giving the lectures? The same Leon-Garcia. This is not a book for those who go to class, fall asleep during the lecture or spend the two hours thinking about what to do after class, hoping that then they can just open the book and understand everything just glancing over it. The book and the class lecture complement each other. I didn't have any problem understanding 90% of the concepts explained in the book, although there are some examples that the book does not explain in detail, but they were thoroughly explained in the lectures. So, depending how well your professor explained the concepts you could end up liking or hating this book. I like it. It is not perfect, but it is a good book to keep as reference. | ||
Very few solved problems This book contains solutions to very few back of the chapter problems making it almost useless and definitely not worth the price | ||
