Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, 2002

Dieses zweibändige Lehrbuch umfaßt einen Kanon von Themen, der an vielen Universitäten unter dem Titel Diskrete Strukturen fester Bestandteil des Informatik-Grundstudiums geworden ist. Bei der Darstellung wird neben der mathematischen Exaktheit besonderer Wert darauf gelegt, auch das intuitive Verständnis zu fördern, um so das Verstehen und Einordnen des Stoffs zu erleichtern. Unterstützt wird dies durch zahlreiche Beispiele und Aufgaben, vorwiegend aus dem Bereich der Informatik. Das Lehrbuch basiert auf Vorlesungen, die seit mehreren Jahren an der Technischen Universität München gehalten werden.Themen des zweiten Bandes: Endliche und unendliche Wahrscheinlichkeitsräume, Markov-Ketten, Warteschlangen, Induktive Statistik.
