Course Syllabus
| Item | Content |
| Course Description | Probability Theory is the mathematics of uncertainty, providing a rigorous mathematical framework through which we can study randomness. In this course, we will present the fundamental axioms of probability theory and introduce some of the most important and widely-used distributions, and prove some fundamental theorems. We will learn how to analyse probabilistic situations, and lay the groundwork for further, more advanced, courses in the subject. |
| Course Objective | Students are able to understand the basics of probability theory in a mathematical way. |
| Course Requirement | It is strongly recommended to have taken the first-year calculus from the maths department. |
| Expected weekly study hours before and/or after class | |
