AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a budget-friendly alternative to the Degroot and Schervish Probability & Statistics textbook for summer study, as they left their copy at college. A recommended resource is "Introduction to Probability" by Grinstead and Snell, which is available for free in PDF format under the General Public License. A link to the PDF is provided for easy access. Additionally, there is clarification on the appropriate forum for discussing book recommendations versus online resources.

Hi. I want to study probability over the summer. The course I'm taking in the fall uses the Degroot and Schervish textbook. My friend took it last semester and agreed to sell it to me for cheap,a nd I left it at my apartment back at college over the summer.

I'd like to know what's a good book that's cheap but still as good as the Degroot and Schervish Probability & Statistics textbook.

Thank you

Is this an undergrad course or a grad course?

I recommend Introduction to Probability - Grinstead and Snell.
This book is free in pdf format under General Public License. Do a google search and you should be able to find it.

Here I did it for you:

Good luck!

You're asking about books, so this is the right place for it. The Learning Materials forums are for links to online resources, and for tutorials etc. that people have written up to post here. The Mentors (moderators) move stuff there from other forums when they're appropriate.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
