• There are better alternatives to this.
  The bad part is that I had to buy this book for my Probability course, and I will probably end up throwing it away after the course ends. There are exercises in each chapter I have covered so far which have little to do with the material in the chapter. I have also found material which is introduced with little or no continuity. The language is rigid, and the flow of thought is not linear. Overall, it makes the learning experience less efficient, and more frustrating; it increases the load on the student,... more info

• Very good and concrete introduction!
  I am a graduate in statistics. The textbook I used is the Introduction to probability by bertsekas and Tsitsiklis while I used this book for supplementary and I found it excellent!

• Too Much Talking
  The author of this book just can't shut his mouth! He babbles on and on about all kinds of nonsense, because he doesn't know how to bring the material clearly, concisely, and in logical order. Don't get me wrong: it's pretty good textbook, and relatively rigorous too. It's just that this book is smiply too long. If Mr Ghahramani wants to illustrate concepts with an endless stream of babble and examples, at least give some sort of overview at the end of paragraphs. Don't burden the reader with the task of... more info

• It's actually somewhat readable.
  This book is all right for a math book. Every time I forget something in probability, I can go back to this thing and find exactly what I'm looking for. I guess it could be more rigorous, but I think that would ruin it's understandability. It could definitely use more examples, but I say that about every book. I'm sure it contains its share of typos, but I'm so used to seeing typos in math texts I don't give them a second thought.
  This book can sure help you with figuring out how to compute odds in... more info
