A text for a one-semester upper-level undergraduate or first- year graduate student in any branch of engineering. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of reliability engineering, draws examples from many branches of the field, but assumes no specialized knowledge or previous exposure to probability or statistics. Does require the standard physics and chemistry, lower-level engineering, and mathematics through ordinary differential equations. Each chapter is provided with a specific bibliography. Annotation c.
