Probability and Random Processes

By Prof. Rohit Sinha, Prof. Ribhu   |   IIT Guwahati, IIT Guwahati
Learners enrolled: 557
About the course: This course aims to introduce students from a Hindi medium background to the basics of probability and random processes and is a beginner level course. Our aim is to give the students a simple, yet thorough introduction to the course in Hindi, making it easier for them to understand the basics of this course, and its applications to Electronics and Communication Engineering. During this course, we will also build a formal vocabulary and introduce the students to the English equivalents of those terms, making it easy for them to take other courses in the language of their choice. 

PRE-REQUISITES: Only basic calculus is required

INTENDED AUDIENCE: BTech students with a background from Hindi medium to introduce them to the technical aspects of probability theory in Hindi. PG (Mathematics and Commerce) students of the Hindi medium distance education programs such as IGNOU and MDU Rohtak. 

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Nill
