SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on recommendations for advanced books on statistics and probability following the completion of "Introduction to Probability and Statistics." Key suggestions include "An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications" by William Feller for in-depth probability study and "Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers" by Douglas C. Montgomery and George C. Runger for practical applications in engineering. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying specific areas of interest within statistics and probability to tailor future reading. Additionally, "Introduction to Probability and Statistics" by DeGroot is noted as a budget-friendly option.
