This "bible" of a whole generation of communications engineers was originally published in 1958. The focus is on the statistical theory underlying the study of signals and noises in communications systems, emphasizing techniques as well s results. End of chapter problems are provided.

A post-calculus approach to this important mathematical discipline. A cursory survey of engineering reveals the widespread application of probability theory. Such diverse fields as systems analysis, decision theory, statistics, automatic control, modern management, and cybernetics all rely on a probabilistic approach. Chalkboard photographs from all the videocassettes are provided in the lecture notes. A mathematics pretest is provided to determine proficiency in calculus concepts and techniques used in the video course. The video course Random processes is a follow-on to this course.

(This volume contains detailed solutions to the exercises ...)
This volume contains detailed solutions to the exercises of Professor Davenport's book, "Probability and Random Processes." The exercises are an integral part of that book (including a significant fraction of the key concepts and results) and the student is encouraged to work out all of them (with the possible exception of the supplementary exercises). the present solutions are intended to assist the student in this task. In many cases, the outlined approach to a problem is by no means the only one possible. An effort has been made, however, to use the most "intuitive" approach in each case and, in addition, to explain the significance of some of the results.
