If you have ever calculated odds, ratios, or chances (of a hand in poker, flipping coins, etc.), then you’ve used probability theory. Again, R&S can introduce you to it (ch. 13). If you want another physical reference, the textbook for Stanford’s PT intro class is “First Course in Probability Theory” by Ross. Furthermore, check out the course website for MS&E 120.
