About the Course

This is a first course in probability and statistics for engineering students in years 2 to 4. It provides a modern introduction to statistics, introducing just enough probability theory to support the statistical concepts. Rather than follow the traditional textbook approaches to statistics, a more modern, up-to-the-moment perspective is used.

The course is fast-paced and work-intensive. Knowledge of single- and multivariable calculus as well as linear algebra is assumed. The goal is to prepare students for further, more advanced or specialized courses in statistics, machine learning, data analytics and othr engineering fields where probability or statistics play an important role.
