The first of six 'Probability' lectures we are showing, taken from the first year undergraduate course, is now available to watch.
The First Year Probability lectures are for students of Mathematics, Computer Science and joint degree courses between Mathematics and Statistics and Mathematics and Philosophy. First year lectures are supported by lecture notes and complemented by one problem sheet for every two lectures, which students are asked to solve in preparation for discussion in pairs with their tutors in tutorials.
Lecture 1 takes the intuitive notion of randomness (and perceived randomness) in the real world and introduces mathematical models, in which events that may be observed are captured as sets of possible outcomes to which we can assign probabilities.
This lecture joins another 85 undergraduate lectures that can be watched via the playlist.
