Students will delve into the core principles of probability theory, beginning with essential definitions, theorems, and techniques. The curriculum encompasses probability spaces, random variables, expected values, and significant concepts such as the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. This course also emphasizes practical applications in various fields, including science, engineering, finance, economics, and data analysis. Learners will discover how probability is utilized to model uncertainty, evaluate risks, facilitate decision-making processes, and drive machine learning algorithms. Through a methodical and organized approach, this program will equip students with the fundamental tools and insights necessary to comprehend and implement probability across diverse disciplines.

While the course is open to everyone, University of Padova students and staff can access the unlimited version with a final certificate for free. To get free upgrade access, visit this page and log in using your university email (unipd.it or studenti.unipd.it).
