商品描述

This textbook will continue to be the best suitable textbook written specifically for a first course on probability theory and designed for industrial engineering and operations management students. The book offers theory in an accessible manner and includes numerous practical examples based on engineering applications.

Probability Foundations for Engineers, Second Edition continues to focus specifically on probability rather than probability and statistics. It offers a conversational presentation rather than a theorem or proof and includes examples based on engineering applications as it highlights Excel computations. This new edition presents a review of set theory and updates all descriptions, such as events versus outcomes, so that they are more understandable. Additional new material includes distributions such as beta and lognormal, a section on counting principles for defining probabilities, a section on mixture distributions and a pair of distribution summary tables.

Intended for undergraduate engineering students, this new edition textbook offers a foundational knowledge of probability. It is also useful to engineers already in the field who want to learn more about probability concepts. An updated solutions manual is available for qualified textbook adoptions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書將繼續是最適合工業工程和運營管理學生的第一門概率論課程的教材。該書以易於理解的方式介紹理論，並包含基於工程應用的大量實際例子。

《概率基礎：工程師的視角，第二版》繼續專注於概率而非概率和統計。它以對話的方式呈現，而不是定理或證明，並且包含基於工程應用的例子，並突出了Excel計算。這個新版本對集合論進行了回顧，並更新了所有描述，例如事件與結果之間的區別，使其更易理解。額外的新材料包括beta和lognormal等分佈，用於定義概率的計數原則，混合分佈的部分以及一對分佈摘要表。

這本新版教科書旨在為本科工程學生提供概率的基礎知識。對於已經在該領域工作的工程師想要更多了解概率概念的人也很有用。有一份更新的解答手冊可供合格的教材採用。

作者簡介

Joel Nachlas is an Associate Professor Emeritus of the faculty of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. He served on that faculty from 1974 until 2016. During his tenure in that department, he served as the coordinator for the department's Operations Research faculty and curricula and was also the coordinator of the department's international program. The foci of Dr. Nachlas research were the application of probability theory to reliability analysis and maintenance planning and of statistical methods to quality control. He earned the B.E.S. from at Johns Hopkins University in 1970 and the M.S. and Ph. D. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 and 1976 respectively. All three of his degrees are in Industrial Engineering with a concentration in Operations Research. Dr. Nachlas has received numerous awards for his research including the 1991 P. K. McElroy Award and the 2004 Golomski Award. He continues to serve as the editor of the Proceedings of the Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. He was a member of INFORMS and IISE and he is a Fellow of the Society of Reliability Engineers and a Fellow of the American Society for Quality. During his tenure at VT, Dr. Nachlas served for twenty years as a visiting professor at Ecole Polytechnique de Nice in France. While on the VT faculty, he served for 35 seasons as head coach of the Virginia Tech men's lacrosse team and was selected in 2001 as the US Lacrosse MDIA national coach of the year.

Joel Nachlas是維吉尼亞理工大學工業與系統工程學院的名譽副教授。他在該學院任教從1974年到2016年。在他在該系的任期中，他擔任過該系運籌學教師和課程的協調員，並且也是該系國際計劃的協調員。Nachlas博士的研究重點是將概率理論應用於可靠性分析和維護計劃，以及將統計方法應用於質量控制。他於1970年在約翰霍普金斯大學獲得B.E.S學位，並於1974年和1976年分別在匹茲堡大學獲得碩士和博士學位。他的三個學位都是工業工程專業，專攻運籌學。Nachlas博士因其研究工作獲得了許多獎項，包括1991年的P.K. McElroy獎和2004年的Golomski獎。他繼續擔任年度可靠性和維護性研討會的編輯。他曾是INFORMS和IISE的成員，並且是可靠性工程師學會和美國質量學會的會士。在維吉尼亞理工大學任職期間，Nachlas博士在法國尼斯高等理工學院擔任了20年的客座教授。在擔任維吉尼亞理工大學教職期間，他擔任了35個賽季的維吉尼亞理工大學男子長曲棍球隊的主教練，並於2001年被選為美國長曲棍球MDIA全國年度教練。
