Course Objectives | The objective of the course is to study the properties of probability distributions and their applications with the help of analytic methods. The course is based on the modern approach to Probability Theory. Since engineering scientists need powerful analytic tools of Probability Theory to analyze algorithms and computer systems, a great number of practical examples are included into the course. |
