Contents

From [MAT-14-14-K-3] Stochastic Methods:
Fundamentals of probability theory:
  • basic concepts of probability theory (probability space, random variable, distribution),
  • distribution of real-valued random variables (binomial, Poisson, exponential and normal distribution, etc.),
  • expected value, variance, covariance,
  • distribution of random vectors, multivariate normal distribution as an example,
  • conditional probability, independence,
  • law of large numbers,
  • Monte Carlo simulation,
  • central limit value theorem.

Fundamental of statistics:

  • parameter estimator,
  • interval estimator,
  • tests.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Building on the knowledge acquired in the first year of their mathematical studies, the students have acquired basic theoretical and practical knowledge in an area of practical/applied mathematics.

They know and understand stochastic concepts and the basic constructions, results and methods of probability theory and statistics. They can reproduce the proofs and independently prove or disprove statements. They are able to apply stochastic methods to simple practical problems.

In the exercise classes the students have acquired a confident, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods from the lecture.

Requirements for attendance (formal)

For students of the (Bachelor's) study programmes of the Department of Mathematics, the proof of successful participation in the exercise classes of "Fundamentals of Mathematics I" or "Fundamentals of Mathematics II" (e.g. from the module [MAT-10-1-M-2] Fundamentals of Mathematics) is prerequisite for participation in the module examination.
