Course abstract
This course explanations and expositions of probability and stochastic processes concepts
which they need for their experiments and research. It also covers theoretical concepts of
probability and stochastic processes pertaining to handling various stochastic modeling. This
course provides random variable, distributions, moments, modes of convergences, classification
and properties of stochastic processes, stationary processes, discrete and continuous time
Markov chains and simple Markovian queueing models.
