Course Description
This course is an introduction to probability, elementary statistics, and random processes. Topics
include fundamental concepts of probability, random variables, probability distributions,
sampling, estimation, elementary hypothesis testing, basic random processes, stationarity,
correlation functions, power-spectral-density functions, and the effect of linear systems on such
processes. There will also be a few simple MATLAB exercises to illustrate the ideas in this
course.
* Disability Accommodations: Students needing academic accommodations for a disability must first
contact Ms. Rebecca Marin, Coordinator, Services for Students with Disabilities (214-768-4557) to verify
the disability and establish eligibility for accommodations. They should then schedule an appointment
with the professor to make appropriate arrangements. (See University Policy No. 2.4.)
* Religious Observance: Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require
missing class should notify their professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss
with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence. (See
University Policy No. 1.9.)
* Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities: Students participating in an officially
sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity will be given the opportunity to make up class
assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation. It is the responsibility of
the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed scheduled examination or other
missed assignment for making up the work. (University Undergraduate Catalogue)
