Probability and Risk Analysis for Engineers
This is an introductory course in probability designed to develop a good understanding of uncertain phenomena and the mathematical tools used to model and analyze it. Applications will be given in such areas as reliability theory, risk theory, inventory theory, financial models, and computer science, among others. This course is a probability course and cannot be used to fulfill any engineering unit or elective requirements.
Topics
- Students will learn how to model random phenomena and learn about a variety of areas where it is important to estimate the likelihood of uncertain events. Students will also learn how to use computer simulation to replicate and analyze these events.
