The third edition of this text is yet another step ahead of the second edition in that this has one more appendix viz. the theory of errors in addition to the revisions of some small segments. The treatment is as before; rigorous yet elegant and user-friendly and covers a wide range of topics such as transformation, convergence and multivariate analysis. The special feature of this text is its effort to resolve many outstanding confusions of probability and statistics.
