 Charles M. Grinstead

Charles M. Grinstead coauthored Introduction to Probability by Charles M. Grinstead and J. Laurie Snell with J. Laurie Snell. The institutional publication record identifies the1997 second revised edition and its authors.^[ref] The text develops probability from concrete models through tools such as conditional probability, expectation and Markov chains. For example, counting length-$n$ sequences of independent fair coin tosses gives probability$2^{-n}\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{k}\right)$ for exactly$k$ heads, connecting discrete counting with a probability model rather than treating either in isolation.
