Consider First Course in Probability, A by Sheldon Ross.
“Sheldon Ross’s First Course in Probability reads like a clear, calculus-based undergraduate textbook: definitions, step-by-step derivations, and many worked examples aimed at building formal comfort with probability. What works best is its mathematical clarity — it pushes you through proofs and algebra so you understand why common distributions and counting arguments work. The main limitation is tone and pacing: chapters can feel terse and formula-heavy, and the bundled diskette/tooling feels dated for readers expecting modern software support.”
