David Stirzaker

Mathematician at the Mathematical Institute and St John’s College, Oxford; author of stirzaker-elementary-probability and, with Geoffrey Grimmett, of the widely used graduate text Probability and Random Processes. His teaching position in this corpus is that formal definitions belong at the start of a probability course for a practical reason — the intuitive route “seems to lead more students into errors” — which puts him opposite h-jerome-keisler on the same question in calculus. Thin node; the evidence is the book and its title page.
