History of Classic Probability - Class Notes
From Classic Problems of Probability, Prakash Gorroochurn (Wiley, 2016)

Copies of the classnotes are on the internet in PDF format as given below. The notes and supplements may contain hyperlinks to posted webpages; the links appear in red fonts. The "Proofs of Theorems" files were prepared in Beamer. The "Printout of Proofs" are printable PDF files of the Beamer slides without the pauses. These notes have not been classroom tested and may have typographical errors.

"History of Classic Probability" is not a formal ETSU class. But these notes could be used as a supplement to the Foundations of Probability and Statistics-Calculus Based class (MATH 2050) or to the Mathematical Statistics sequence (STAT 4047/5047 and STAT 4057/5057). The book, Classic Problems of Probability by Prakash Gorroochurn, is available online through ETSU's Charles C. Sherrod Library (an ETSU password is required; accessed 4/22/2021).
