Discrete Stochastic Processes (Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 321)

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: A great book to have. The book gives you real deep insight into the theorems of probability, queing systems and discrete stochastic processes. What most advanced level books on stochastic processes dont have is the explaination of the theorems because authors assume the audiance to be mathematicians. Gallegers book is more for engineers and less for mathematicicans.

Summary: Worth having!
Review: Although the aesthetics (print, figures etc) of the book leave something to be desired, this is definitely a book one can get a lot out of. Gallager's treatment of the subject matter favors simplicity and his thought process is usually easy to follow. Occasionally one finds less than water tight proofs but all in all this is a great addition to the bookshelf.
