| Description: | This is a first course in undergraduate probability.
It requires a solid knowledge of Calculus (I, II, III), and covers
standard material such as combinatorial problems, random
variables, distributions, independence,
conditional probability, expected value and moments, law
of large numbers, and the central limit theorem.
This course is three credit hours. It serves as
a QRQI course (quantitative reasoning-Math, quantitative
reasoning-statistics/logic, and quantitative intensive).

Warnings) |
| Grading: | Four non-comprehensive exams (25% each). |
| Exams: | There are no
make-up examinations in this course, and the exams
are not comprehensive.
All exams are held in the lecture hall. The dates are:
|
| Assignments: | Assignments are posted below.
New assignments are announced during the lectures,
and have assigned due dates. However, homework is
not collected, nor graded.
The homeworks are generally a mixture of theoretical
(theorem/proof; about 30% of the time), and computational
problems.
The only way to keep up with the pace of this course
is to solve, at the very least, the assigned homework
problems in a timely fashion. |
| Seeking Help: | To find help, the students are encouraged to visit the instructor during the designated drop-in office hour (web link), schedule an appointment (web link), or visit the fine (no-cost) tutoring center (web link) of the department of mathematics. The tutoring center is centered at the T. B. Rushing Undergraduate Student Center in the basement of LCB. |
