Goals

 

1.      To provide electrical and computer engineering majors with the ability to carry out probability calculations involving one and many random variables.

2.    To familiarize the students with standard probability distributions which arise in engineering and statistical applications.

3.      To provide an introductory treatment of random processes that includes correlation and spectral functions.
