Featured Course for Summer 2023 - MATH 426 Probability
Once when I was a student I told my father that I was studying for a probability exam. His response was “Well, that must be easy, because there’s nothing to study.” Now 30 years later I can tell you that there is definitely something to study. But to give my father some credit, confusion about what probability is about exactly is not uncommon. Is it a branch of math or physics? Part of philosophy? Or just common sense? In this class we will build on your earlier courses to develop probability as a branch of mathematics, while still keeping an eye on its deep connections to other fields. Read more...
