Probability

This course discusses the basic mathematical models for physical phenomena which possess random features or for problems which can be solved by randomization methods. The aim of this course is to consolidate students' way of thinking from intuitive reasoning to rigorous reasoning with a logical framework. This course requires knowledge on calculus, both single and multiple variables. It is required for students to read Chapter 1: Combinatorial Analysis of the textbook by S. Ross before class begins.

This is an English–teaching course. In class, you are welcome to raise your questions in any language. If you speak a language other than English, Taiwanese or Mandarin, please have someone to translate it to any of the above three languages. We will follow the contents of the textbook from the axiomatic foundation of probability to the limit theorems. Doing homework problems is an essential part of learning any mathematical subjects, including this course. There are two types of homework problems to be assigned in a weekly basis: basic and developed. Only developed problems are required to turn in and be graded. There will be a quiz every week during the last 20 minutes of the Monday class and quiz problems will be based on the assigned basic homework problems. Solutions of developed homework problems can be retrieved from my web site. It is required for students to read Chapter 1: Combinatorial Analysis of the textbook by S. Ross before class begins.
