Textbook

R. E. Walpole, R. H. Myers, S. L. Myers, K. Ye (2006) Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, Prentice-Hall (Pearson). (9th edition is available at BU Bookstore, but there is no significant difference in the last few editions, so if you find a copy of 5th edition or later, you should be fine).
