Discrete Probability Distributions: Sampler of Our Textbook

My ex graduate student, Deborah Gaffney, and I finally completed an undergraduate-level probability and statistics book titled Elementary Concepts of Probability & Statistics. I started writing in November 2012 and finished writing it in June 2013. You can download a chapter on discrete probability distribution functions by clicking here. Enjoy reading! Send me a feedback to tell me what you think.

I decided to write this textbook because I feel many textbooks are too thick (600+ pages) and too expensive ($150 or more). Students have to invest a lot of time to read such textbook. Why not explaining the concepts more clearly and concisely? We sell this textbook for a lot less and it has only 124 pages. 

Our textbook is not typical since it does not have many example and exercise problems as it focuses more on explaining concepts as good stories. Lecture notes that accompany our textbook bridge this gap as they provide many example and exercise problems.

I am testing our textbook now in a summer probability and statistics for engineers course. I will update you on how it goes.
