随机过程教材的经典之作，值得一看，而且要多看几遍

Ross的概率书都很经典，能够出10版的书肯定不一般

随机过程随机过。。。

本书浅显易懂，数学上基本上不需要复杂的工具。

刚刚看了两章，发现里面的例子还是不错的，喜欢。

例子很多，易于理解，印刷也很清晰

还没看内容，标题翻译的有点怪。

理论性强，质量很好

剖析比较详细

本学期的讨论班就用它了，不错的书

比较好懂的英文，不枯燥

算法精妙啊，快来看。

书完整无缺,印刷清晰

书还不错~虽然木有买的另一本纸质好~不是新闻纸

很实用，但包装有破损

作为一本全英文图书，我由于工作忙只看到第四章。总体感觉，本书实例确实多，作者也确实把我们当傻子教的，不厌其烦。不过也有好多地方要在网上查一些概念。推荐有自学能力的人去读。

10个字的规定真讨厌

书的上面和侧面都是脏脏的。。。哎1

书还不错,不过书本最后烂了几页,其他地方也是有烂的

Ross写书就是这个特点。清楚，例子很多

Ross的经典名著，内容由浅入深，例题讲解详细易懂，课后练习题很多，也有习题答案。特别适合于学习概率应用者入门！值得称道的是，这个版无论是从印刷、排版、纸张都是非常好，是我见到影印书中质量最好的，让人爱不释手啊！虽然价格也贵，但冲着作者和这么好的印刷质量，还是掏了银子拿下！

书是经典，质量不错，只是送货时间有点长~

内容很丰富，有一定难度，商品还可以，应该是正版的

书的质量很好内容就不用说了

经典书籍还用多说？偶了

和原版教材完全一样，很好！

呃，买了两本书，卓越卖的这本第二天就到了。 China-Pub那本还在等待中,已经5天了.

书收到还不错，网上买书就是比在书店买便宜，就是邮的太慢。

能出到10版的应该是经典

一本可以做十版的书足以见得它的经典

书质量看起来还好，遇到打折，还不错

好书！无需多说

暂未细读，但是翻过才买的
