Hi #EconTwitter! In search of a solid intro to probability theory? Check out this very nice book by Joe Blitzstein (Joe Blitzstein, Harvard University) and Jessica Hwang. It's packed with examples and exercises, focuses on learning through simulation, and stresses real-world applications.

Today I gave a lecture on probability theory in my first ever course as a college professor. I am a cognitive scientist, not a statistician, and I teach research methods. It was only thanks to taking Joe Blitzstein with Joe Blitzstein that I ever understood probability!
