Course objective : To introduce the basic concepts of probability theory To have the students acquire the skills to analyze nondeterministic signals by modelling them as random processes.
Learning outcomes : Know the basic concepts of probability theory. Use common probability distributions and analyse their properties. Compute conditional probability distributions and conditional expectations. Compute distributions by use of transformation techniques and solve problems. Define and use the properties of Stochastic processes, especially Gaussian and Poisson Processes.
