Probability

Thanks for the suggestions

I will try out atleast one of the books mentioned by both of you.
and also recommend when I get a chance for the same.

To Bogdan : I dont know if you remember that you had asked me earlier to comment on the book "Power Reading".
My Comments : The book is basically a techinique for speed reading. It does help in improving one's reading speed (words per minute). I am not aware of other techniques, but this technique doesen't sacrifice comprehension when reading faster. It is easy, simple and short and it takes about 2-3 weeks to skim through. Does this really help in GMAT ?? This is a difficult question to answer as I guess it depends from person to person. But I surely feel that one should be able to atleast confidently face RC if speed reading techniques like the above is touched upon.

The book Bogdan is referring to is called "Theory and Problems of Probability and Statisics" by Murray R. Spiegel.

I believe this is an excellent reference for probability, perms., and combs.. For the purposes of the GMAT, you wil only need to learn the material in Chapter 1.

Kdog,

thank you for the title, I will add it to the recommended books list.

I really have not seen the book; I just heard a lot that some of the Schaum's series were recommended but when I took a look at them there are like 10 different Schaum's books on Probability and such.

Iceman, good to see you back.

I remember now as you have mentioned that I asked you, but it was not something I woke up with
