Aims and objectives
To provide a solid introduction to probability theory.With this background the students should be able to specify and solve simple probabilistic problems.

Teaching method
The presentation is problem-oriented and motivated by practical examples. Assignments are given which should be worked out independently and presented in the lecture.

Probability Theory. Fundamental Concepts, Laplace Probability and Combinatorics, Conditional Probability, Random Variables and their Distributions, Discrete Distributions, Continuous Distributions, Random Vectors, Limit Theorems.

Pre-requisites
Calculus T1.
