Credits:        3

Prerequisites:  ECE 330

Class Meets:    MWF 1:20-2:10 in 2535 Engr. Hall

Goals & Topics: This is a first course in probability, random processes,
                and statistics.
                It provides the student with an operational understanding
                of random variables and random processes.
                Special emphasis is given to continuous-time, second-order
                random processes, including correlation functions and power
                spectral densities.  The effect of passing such processes
                through linear time-invariant systems is also analyzed.
                Confidence intervals, reliability, and discrete-time
                Markov chains will also be covered.
