Discrete Probability (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Rating:
Summary: Not too great
Review: This book could be used as a reference by someone already familiar with probability, however this book claims to be an introductory text, which it is not. The back of the book claim that there are "many worked exercises" is simply a lie. There are very few exercises worked out. There are plenty of exercises at the end of each section, but only the answers are given with no explanations. If your goal is to learn probability on your own you couldn't make a poorer choice than this text and if you're a student using it you better hope your professor is competent.
