PROBABILITY CONCEPTS IN ENGINEERING - EMPHASIS ON APPLICATIONS TO CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENG. VOL.1

Sinopse

Apply the principles of probability and statistics to realistic engineering problems. An easy and effective way to learn the principles of probabilistic modeling and statistical inference is to apply those principles to a variety of applications. That's why Ang and Tang's Second Edition of 'Probability Concepts in Engineering' (previously titled Probability Concepts in Engineering Planning and Design) explains concepts and methods using a wide range of problems related to engineering and the physical sciences, particularly civil and environmental engineering. Now extensively revised with new illustrative problems and new and expanded topics, this Second Edition will help you develop a thorough understanding of probability and statistics and the ability to formulate and solve real-world problems in engineering. The authors present each basic principle using different examples, and give you the opportunity to enhance your understanding with practice problems. The text is ideally suited for students, as well as those wishing to learn and apply the principles and tools of statistics and probability through self-study.
