MATH 220 - Probability Theory

Institution:

New York Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to probability theory and its applications with emphasis on stochastic processes such as random walk phenomena and waiting time distributions. Computer graphics simulations will be used. Students use mathematical modeling/ multiple representations to provide a means of presenting, interpreting communication, and connecting mathematical information and relationships. Topics include sets; events; sample spaces; mathematical models of random phenomena; basic probability laws; conditional probability; independent events; Bernoulli trials; binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson, normal and exponential distributions; random walk and Markov chains.
