Professor David Stirzaker

I used to give tutorials in various branches of pure and applied mathematics including, for example:- probability, random processes, statistics, applied analysis, and functions of a complex variable. I have written, severally and jointly, five textbooks on probability and random processes, ranging from elementary and introductory up to graduate level. [Published by Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press].

I am interested in probability and its ramifications.  I have recently completed 'The Cambridge Dictionary of Probability and its Applications'; and at the American Publishers Association 2016 PROSE awards for excellence in scholarly publishing, this book was runner-up in the Mathematics category.  Even more recently, these two books have been published by OUP:

• https://global.oup.com/academic/product/probability-and-random-processes-9780198847595
• https://global.oup.com/academic/product/one-thousand-exercises-in-probability-9780198847618

And the first of the above two books was also a Finalist at the American Publishers Association 2021 PROSE awards for excellence in scholarly publishing.

Other recent research activity appears in these:

• [1910.02515] The lost boarding pass, and other practical problems (arxiv.org)
