BOOK REVIEWS* P. M .VASIC!. &da& iproblemi iz teorije verovatnoke (Theorems and problems of the theory of probability). vii + 127 p. Gradevinska knjiga, Beograd, 1974. The second edition (the first appeared in 1973) of a collection of problems on the theory of probability, consisting of four parts and an appendix. In the first three (“Events and probabilities”, “Random quantities”, “ Geometrical probabilities”) there are 346 problems of various levels of complexity which were intended for students of the electrical engineering faculty of Belgrade University and for those of the electronics faculty of the uni~rsity in the city of Nish. It must be mentioned that as well as the types of problems usually included in such publications, here many problems of greater difficulty are introduced, including some borrowed from original periodical publications (in this case a detailed reference is given). For each problem in these parts the answer of a detailed solution is given. The fourth part contains the questions and problems of the written exa~nations of a number of courses, ~clu~mg the elements of the theory of probab~i~, and also problems on the theory of probability in degree examinations. Besides a list of formulas relating to various types of distributions, the appendix also contains tables of the values of the functions most used in probability theory. The bibliography contains 36 titles. D. D. Voskresenskii ~ansZated by J. Berry
D. S. MITRINOVIC?.Predavanja CJredovina (Lectures on series). vii + 119 p. Gradevinska knjiga, Beograd, 1974. The book is the second edition of the text of 12 lectures delivered to students of the second course of the electrical engineering faculty of Belgrade university. The material is presented traditionally: almost 5 lectures are devoted to numerical series, 3 lectures are allotted to functional and power series, the remainder to trigonometrical series and the Fourier integral. In an appendix, written by J. D. Ke&iC, more specialized questions are considered: infmite products, the convergence of Fourier series and improper integrals, methods of suing divergent series. The references to the lectures contain 27 titles, and those to the appendix contain 8 titles. D. D. Voskresenskii Zhnslated by J. Berry
