M362K PROBABILITY I

Prerequisite and degree relevance:

M408D with a grade of at least C.

Course description:

This is an introductory course in the mathematical theory of probability, thus it is fundamental to further work in probability and statistics. Principles of set theory and a set of axioms for probability are used to derive some probability density and/or distribution functions. Special counting techniques are developed to handle some problems. Properties associated with a "random variable" are developed for the usual elementary distributions. Both theorem proving and problem solving are required.

Only one of the following may be counted: M362K, 316, 360K (when the topic is Applications of Probability Theory.)
