Learning outcomes
The course introduces basic concepts of probability theory, with particular emphasis on its formal description starting from its axiomatization due to A. Kolmogorov. The course aims to provide the notions needed in order to understand and apply in complete autonomy the theory that lies behind probability in various problems of both physics and daily life.
Program
