BOOK NOTES

IJ. F. I.

order to arouse the reader's interest and help him develop his feeling for probability into quantitative concepts.

The normal (Gauss) and the Poisson models of mathematical probability are explored both analytically and through typical problems.

Numerous problems are included, some with answers.
