Discrete Random Variables

Authors: Teo Banica

This is an introduction to probability and discrete random variables. We first discuss games, counting and basic probability, with the mathematics of the binomials and factorials recalled, and with everything explained with numerous illustrations. Then we get into the theory of discrete random variables, with the basic theory explained, with illustrations, notably with results about the binomial and Poisson laws. Then we discuss more advanced distributions, such as the Bessel, hypergeometric and beta binomial ones, with methods from both algebra and analysis. We end with an introduction to continuous phenomena, advanced combinatorics, random matrices and freeness.
