Honors Introduction to Probability Theory

Catalog description

This course covers probability spaces, discrete and continuous random variables, transformations, expectations, generating functions, conditional distributions, law of large numbers, central limit theorems. In contrast to the non-honors version of 414, 414H has a stronger focus on a multivariate presentation of core concepts, asymptotic results, and proofs of essential theorems. This emphasis is complemented through more advanced in-class examples, homework problems, and exam questions. Students will also pursue a topic of choice in further depth through a course project. Students may take only one course from STAT(MATH) 414, 414H, and 418.
