Notes:

  • Version 6.0 was released Thu 26/6/03; the book is finished. You are welcome to view the book on-screen. Version 6.0 was used for the first printing, published by C.U.P. September 2003.
  • Version 6.6 was released Mon 22/12/03; it will be used for the second printing, to be released January 2004. In this second printing, a small number of typographical errors were corrected, and the design of the book was altered slightly. Page-numbering generally remains unchanged, except in chapters 1, 6, and 28, where a few paragraphs, figures, and equations have moved around. All equation, section, and exercise numbers are unchanged.
  • Version 7.0 is the third printing (November 2004). Its only differences from the 2nd printing are a number of corrections, and the renaming of the chapter `Correlated Random Variables' to `Dependent Random Variables'.
