Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. Learn the basic concepts of probability.
  2. Learn the basic concepts of continuous and discrete random variables.
  3. Understand the Functions of Continuous and Discrete Probability Random Variables.
  4. Learn the find of the expected value and variance of the random variables.
  5. Learn the find the new probability distribution is defined as function of one or two random variable.

PrerequisitesNo
Recommended Optional Programme ComponentsIt is recommended for the student to take MAT 222 Differential Equations course before.
Course DescriptionIn this course, basic principles of probability, definition and basic theorems of probability, concept of a random variable, probability distributions, mathematical expectation, moments, some discrete and continuous distributions, transformations of a random variable, joint probability distributions, transformations of multiple random variables are discussed. Then, in the processes part of the course, the random process concept, classification of processes stationarity and independence, correlation functions, Gaussian random processes, Poisson random processes and spectral characteristics of random processes are studied.
