MATH 414HHonors Introduction to Probability Theory

3 credits · Mathematics · Penn State

This course covers probability spaces, discrete and continuous random variables, transformations, expectations, generating functions, conditional distributions, law of large numbers, central limit theorems. In contrast to the non-honors version of 414, 414H has a stronger focus on a multivariate presentation of core concepts, asymptotic results, and proofs of essential theorems. This emphasis is complemented through more advanced in-class examples, homework problems, and exam questions. Students will also pursue a topic of choice in further depth through a course project. Students may take only one course from STAT(MATH) 414, 414H, and 418.
