This book sets out in detail mathematical techniques valuable for giving useful approximate solutions to a wide range of problems in statistical theory and methods as well as in applied probability. The emphasis throughout is on the relatively simple general concepts involved and on their illustration by a wide range of examples, chosen to be of intrinsic interest. The precise mathematical theorems with their associated, rather formidable technical conditions are given as appendices, but the emphasis in the body of the text is on applications. The first four chapters deal with univariate problems, where the key ideas are seen in their simplest, yet widely useful, form.
