Where MATH-2612 counts
Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course provides students with a firm foundation in probability theory, which is necessary for a complete understanding of advanced statistics. Topics include combinatorial methods, probability, random variables, probability distributions and densities, joint and conditional distributions, mathematical expectation, special discrete probability distributions, and the continuous uniform and exponential distributions. Exam, term tests and assignments are utilized for student evaluation.
Requisite courses
