Summary
The purpose of this book is to present an attitude. It has been designed with the aim of making students and perhaps also faculty aware of some of the consequences of modern computing technology for probability theory and mathematical statistics. Not only the increased speed and memory of modern computers are relevant here; of at least equal importance to our subject are the versatile input-output devices and the existence of interactive time-sharing systems and of powerful programming languages. The work described in these notes was initiated because we felt the time was ripe for a systematic exploitation of modern computing techniques in mathematical statistics and applied probability. Model building, for instance in applied probability, is very different today from what it was in pre-computer days, although this change has not yet fully penetrated to the textbook level. This course is being presented to remedy this situation to some degree; through it, we hope, students will become aware of how computers have increased their freedom of choice of mathematical models and liberated them from the restraints imposed by traditional mathematical techniques.
