[Math] Can anyone recommend good books on (transformation of) random variables and distributions

book-recommendationreference-request

I'm currently self-studying and I'm looking for books focusing on random variables and their transformations, which possibly contain examples like the one in this question.

I'm also interested in convolution of distributions.

Any books you've read and would recommend? Thanks.

Handbook on Statistical Distributions for Experimentalists - University of Stockholm

A link to the pdf http://www.stat.rice.edu/~dobelman/textfiles/DistributionsHandbook.pdf

Cambridge University posts lectures notes and homework online. You could visit there. There is a list of courses available here http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1415/

Convultion of distributions

Here are some lecture notes I found from MATH 526 University of Washington Lecture 8 will focus upon convolution. This link will take you to all the lectures and homework.

If you could be more specific I am sure I could find more.
