Notes on Elementary Probability

By Liviu I Nicolaescu

These are notes for the undergraduate probability class I have taught at the University of Notre Dame for three years. They have been continuously update to incorporate remarks and questions from my students. The list of topics is more or less the list of topics required for the actuaries Exam-p. I believe that the best way to understand probability is from examples and by experiencing random experiments. The book discusses contains many classical examples. Additionally we have included the short R-programs used for class simulations. For this reason, the last chapter of the book offers a very basic introduction to R. We have included many exercises, of varied difficulty, inspired from undergraduate courses in US and Europe. The complete solutions are contained in Appendix B of the book.
