| Course contents :
| The course is divided into two parts: descriptive statistics and probability theory. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| Develop statistical thinking and show how probabilistic models can be used to analyse random processes. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| Basic concepts of analysis and algebra are necessary. | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| The 40 hours of practicals will be divided into tutorials and practicals in the computer room of the mathematical Institute. moreover, homeworks will be regularly given. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| The courses and the tutorials/practicals are given over the two semesters according to a timetable distributed to the students in the beginning of the academic year. | |
|  | | |

| Assessment :
| The final mark is a weighted mean of the marks attributed to the three following assesments:
- personnal homework giving rise to a written report as well as an oral examination (the same day as the oral examen below)
- written exam on exercises during the period of examination of May-June.
- oral exam on theory during the period of examination of May-June.
