Emphasis on Applications to Civil and Environmental Engineering
The material in the book is intended for a first course on appliedprobability and statistics for engineering students at the
sophomore or junior level, or for self study, stressing
probabilistic modeling and the fundamentals of statistical
inferences. The primary aim is to provide an in-depth understanding
of the fundamentals for the proper application in engineering
problems.
The second edition of this well-known book (previously titled
Probability Concepts in Engineering Planning and Design) by
Alfredo Ang and Wilson Tang, two world-renowned educators, has been
revised to simplify understanding the fundamentals of probability
and statistics for engineering students. The second edition
includes many new and expanded topics, including hypothesis testing
and confidence intervals in regression analysis. Students using
this text will develop the ability to formulate and solve
real-world problems in engineering. The authors accomplish this by
explaining all the concepts and methods through a variety of
relevant engineering and physical problems.
Each basic principle is presented and illustrated through
different examples relevant to engineering and the physical
sciences, particularly civil and environmental engineering.
The exercise problems in each chapter further enhance understanding
of basic concepts and reinforce a working knowledge of concepts and
methods. The authors firmly believe that the easiest and most
effective way for engineers to learn and master a new set of
abstract principles is to apply them to a variety of
applications.
