Moments in Probability

by Werner Kirsch

Published 15 April 2018
Whether for students in mathematics, physics, or economics - this textbook offers a stringent introduction into probability theory based on the moment method to develop an intuition for the topic. Examples from physics and economics such as the Curie-Weiss law and voting systems enable an easy transfer of theory to application. A further focus lies on random matrix theory - an area of considerable importance in the natural sciences nowadays.
