BV Rao's Probability Notes
'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'
'God exists because Mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists because we cannot prove it'
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Hi;
Thanks for the links. He looks like Francisco Bustamante.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: BV Rao's Probability Notes
Not yet, I will download them and look at them but be forewarned, I am totally buried in problems I can not solve.
There is an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about.

Re: BV Rao's Probability Notes
Hmmm, does he provide examples?

Re: BV Rao's Probability Notes
He always provides examples and adequate motivation before generalizing something.
Here are some gems by him:
The more and more notation you use, the more and more you get confused.
What is n, m, all this non-sense? Take 10, 20, doesn't matter.
Everything should be absolutely concrete.

Re: BV Rao's Probability Notes
Hey, I said those before he was born. I will read his stuff.
Did you know that I learned something new today?

Re: BV Rao's Probability Notes
Excellent! I am guessing that he was born sometime in 1940s
What did you learn today?
