    OVERVIEW

    This course is dedidcet to introduce basic concepts in Probability Theory. the aim is to give a solid background and the instrumentes to understand the probabilistic language: the student shound be able to build and analyse easy stochastic models. The links with other disciplines as Analysis and Statistics will be presented.
