A basic understanding of Calculus (integrals
in particular) would be sufficient for Freund & Walpole. They do a nice job
of walking through the basic concepts.
Contents of Freund & Walpole
(3rd):
1. historical background, 2. probability, 3.
distributions, 4. mathematical expectation, 5. special distributions, 6. special
densities, 7. functions of random variables, 8. sampling distributions, 9.
decision theory, 10. point estimation, 11. interval estimation, 12. hypothesis
testing: theory, 13. hypothesis testing: application, 14. regression and
correlation, 15. anova, 16. nonparametric methods.
*Appendices: algebra of events, sums and
