Probability Theory 1-An Outline

This document outlines a probability theory course that will explore classical, frequency and axiomatic approaches to understanding probability and chance. It will cover combinatorial analysis, probability laws and theorems, and applications. Students should have knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, progressions, permutations, combinations and infinite series. The course aims to provide an understanding of different probability approaches and their relationships, as well as combinatorial analysis and probability results. It references four textbooks on probability and statistics.

Probability Theory 1 An Outline

Here we shall try to understand what we mean by the probability (chance) of an event and how to
measure it. We shall consider three approaches classical, frequency and axiomatic.
As a path to measure probability we shall consider some aspects of combinatorial analysis.
We shall further consider different laws of probability and the theorems connecting them.

Pre-Requisites for this course:


Elementary Arithmetic and Algebra.
Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions.
Infinite series like exponential series, logarithmic series, binomial series with negative index,
etc.
Permutation and Combination.

Outcome of the Course


Knowledge of different approaches to probability and their inter-relations.
Elementary Combinatorial Analysis.
Different results related to probability theory and their applications.
