Course Description:

 "Basic concepts of probability are introduced in terms of finite probability spaces and stochastic proceses having a finite number of outcomes on each experiment. The basic theory is first illustrated in terms of simple models such as coin tossing, random walks, and casino games. Also included are Markov chain modelsand their applications in the social and physical sciences. The computer wil be used to suggest and motivate theoreticala results and to study applications in some depth." ORC

"Mathematics is not for spectators; in order to gain in understanding, confidence, and enthusiasm one has to participate."
