Probability and Random Variables for Engineers

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to introduce the principles and concepts of random experiments and illustrate the application of those to problems of an engineering nature. Topics covered include the axioms of probability, combinatorics, the random variable (RV), distribution functions, expectations and statistics, the gaussian RV, transformations, central limit theorem, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Both discrete and continuous random variables will be covered. Computer programming may be used to reinforce coursework material. Offered in spring.
