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.

A student may not receive credit for M316 after completing M362K with a grade of C or

better.
