Probability and random processes: engineering approach

AI Thread Summary
Two notable e-books on probability and random processes are highlighted, aimed primarily at graduate electrical engineering students but valuable for a broader audience. The first is authored by Professor Hajek from the University of Illinois, which is praised for its professional quality and inclusion of solutions to even-numbered problems. The second e-book is by Gray from Stanford and Davisson from the University of Maryland, also published by Cambridge University Press. Both texts present concepts of measure theory without extensive proofs and cover random processes at an advanced level without necessitating a deep understanding of measure theory. Hajek's book is favored for its focus on electrical engineering applications and less emphasis on probability review, while Gray and Davisson's work is noted for being somewhat verbose yet still engaging. The discussion also confirms that copyright issues have been addressed, ensuring the removal of illegal links.

There are a couple of fantastic e-books on probability and random processes, designed for graduate electrical engineering classes but should be interesting to many other folks as well.

The first is from prof. Hajek at Illinois.

http://www.ifp.illinois.edu/~hajek/Papers/randomprocesses.html

The second is from Gray (Stanford) and Davisson (UMD)

http://ee.stanford.edu/~gray/sp.htmlBoth books are professional quality (hardcopy of Gray+Davisson is also published by Cambridge University Press). Hajek includes solutions to even numbered problems.

These present notions of measure-theory without the detailed proofs, and present random processes at a reasonably high level, again without requiring measure theory. Hajek is my favorite. It is not that different of a level as Grimmett and Stirzaker, but is geared more towards electrical engineering applications and doesn't review as much probability. Gray and Davisson is a little wordy, but still very interesting

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
