2- Course aims :-
  1. To provide a solid introduction to probability theory and statistics. With this background the students should be able to specify and solve simple probabilistic problems. They should gain also some practice in working with basic statistical methods.
  2. Uncertainty and randomness, random experiments, probability spaces and events, sets and fields, probability distributions, probability approaches and measures, joint and conditional probability, dependent and independence.
  3. Probability by counting methods, permutations, combinations, Bernoulli trials, binomial probability law and applications.
  4. Single and pairs of random variables, discrete and continuous random variables, functions of random variables, joint and conditional distribution functions, important distribution functions and their applications in electrical engineering.
  5. Expected value and moments of random variables, mean and variance, correlation and covariance of pairs of random variables.
  6. Sums of random variables, sample mean and sample variance, the law of large numbers, central limit theorem, sampling distribution and confidence intervals.
  7. Applying methods of probability and statistics in computer science fields such as Natural Language Processing, Digital Signal Processing, Simulation, Machine Learning, Uncertainty, and Data and Text Mining.
  8. Developing skill in using computer methods for solving problems in probability and statistics.
