Objectives of the Course Introducing the basic concepts of the theory of stochastic processes.
Introduction of the most important types of stochastic processes.
To study various properties and characteristics of processes.
To equip the students to be able to model random events.
Course Content The course is intended for the junior undergraduate students in Industrial Engineering. Topics to be covered include Markov chains in discrete and continuous cases, the Poisson processes and exponential distribution, and queuing theory. The course requires basic knowledge in probability theory and linear algebra. Students are expected to use and understand basic mathematical notations; select and apply an appropriate mathematical model for certain elementary probabilistic problems; and do calculations accurately.
Course Methods and Techniques We will be using various tools for active learning to take place. This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions.
