Engineering Uncertainty

and Risk Analysis

A Balanced Approach to Probability, Statistics, Stochastic Methods and Stochastic Differential Equations

Sergio E. Serrano, Ph.D.

"The book attempts to offer the engineering community and integrated, balanced, and clear presentation to probability, statistics, stochastic models, and stochastic differential equations. The aim is to demonstrate to the reader that the fundamental principles are inherently simple and that the methods are practical and extremely useful in everyday engineering analysis or design. The book succeeds admirably in these aims." Aerospace (from the Royal Aeronautical Society).

"...discusses uncertainty in engineering, contrasting it with uncertainty as usually encountered in pure science. The essential differences are beautifully explained, providing a philosophical and practical basis for the erest of the book. This essential introduction is lacking in most books on statistics applications in engineering ...Overall, the book presents clear and interesting descriptions and explanations. The level of mathematics is appropriate to reasonably numerate engineers, and the use of spreadsheets and Maple enhance the practical value to engineers. I strongly recommend this book to design and systems engineers, and to engineering course tutors looking for a good introduction to this important topic." Quality and Reliability Engineering International.
