Course objectives
The main goal of this two-semestral course is to introduce the fundamental notions and principles of probability theory and mathematical statistics. The first part of the course is devoted to the explanation of the fundamentals of probability theory and its relation to mathematical statistics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Probability: classical definition and its generalizations, axiomatic definition of probability, selected probability models, conditional probability and independence, Bayes' formula.
    2. Random variable and its distribution function: Borel functions, continuity of the probability from above and from below, definition of a random variable, definition of distribution functions and their main properties, definition of probability distribution.
    3. Numerical characteristics of random variables: expected value, Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure derived from a distribution function, density function of a random variable, variance, moments, discrete and continuous random variables.
    4. Selected probability distributions and their properties.
    5. Random vectors, independence and uncorrelation of random variables, conditional expected value.
    6. Central limit theorem.
    7. Introduction to the theory of stochastic processes.
