Key Topics in This Chapter: Mainly Quantitative

In this chapter, we present several helpful and indispensable tools for dealing with random variables and their distributions. Especially, we discuss the following:
  • Generating functions.
  • The concept of entropy and the maximum entropy principle (MEP).
  • Inequalities for random variables (Markov, Chebyshev, Cantelli, Jensen, Cauchy-Schwartz) and some of their applications.
  • Limit theorems (central limit theorem, and others).
  • Some results from combinatorics are needed for counting things.
