Probability theory forms the mathematical backbone for quantifying uncertainty and random events, providing a rigorous language with which to describe both everyday phenomena and complex scientific ...

French mathematician and astronomer, Pierre-Simon Laplace brought forth the first major treatise on probability that combined calculus and probability theory in 1812. A single roll of the dice can be ...

It is shown that a class of infinite, block-partitioned, stochastic matrices has a matrix-geometric invariant probability vector of the form (x0,x1,...), where xk=x0Rk, for k≥ 0. The rate matrix R is ...

This course is compulsory on the BSc in Actuarial Science, BSc in Actuarial Science (with a Placement Year), BSc in Financial Mathematics and Statistics and BSc in Mathematics, Statistics and Business ...

Probability theory is the mathematical study of phenomena characterized by randomness or uncertainty. More precisely, probability is used for modelling situations when the result of an experiment, ...

We start by embedding probability theory into a general theory of measure and integration. This will allow us to derive theorems that may not have been included in the Analysis III course but that are ...
