Title: Just a Typical Intro Book
Product review: Some other reviewer said Sheldon Ross deserves a Nobel Prize for this book, but that's a gross overstatement. Another reviewer said he'll burn the book, but it's not that bad either. It's a fairly typical intro book that's neither particularly good nor bad. The problems were at an appropriate level and were definitely doable if reasonable time was put in. Ross explains the concepts decently well, but I found William Feller's Intro to Mathematical Probability a much better presentation of the material. The part that I despised about Ross is his exposition of various types of random variables. This was the part where the book got truly boring, since his style was "this is binomial. got it? this is possion. ok. and this is exponential." There was no sense of flow or connection. For this I give him 2 stars although I would have given him 3 otherwise.
