Text: S. Ross, A First Course in Probability

Prerequisite: Calculus and a strong desire to learn.

This course deals with the mathematical description of random phenomena. It serves as the prerequisite for Math/Stat 452 (Mathematical Statistics) and Math/Stat 453 (Stochastic Models). While calculus is the only prerequisite, you should keep in mind that this is a 400 level mathematics course, so a certain amount of maturity (mathematical and otherwise) will be assumed.
