Inequality has become an essential tool in many areas of mathematical research, for example in probability and statistics where it is frequently used in the proofs. ‘Probability Inequalities’ covers inequalities related with events, distribution functions, characteristic functions, moments and random variables (elements) and their sum. The book shall serve as a useful tool and reference for scientists in the areas of probability and statistics, and applied mathematics.
