Help On Engineering Probability Resources

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for an engineering probability module that encompasses topics such as random variables (RV), probability density functions (PDF), applied statistics, random processes, complex analysis, conformal mapping, linear algebra, and optimization. Participants recommend the book "Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes" by Papoulis for its comprehensive axiomatic approach, alongside "Probability and Statistics for Engineers" by Miller and Freund for a more practical perspective. The need for supplemental lecture notes is emphasized, with a call for recommendations from the community.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of random variables (RV) and probability density functions (PDF)
  • Familiarity with applied statistics in engineering contexts
  • Basic knowledge of linear algebra and optimization techniques
  • Awareness of complex analysis and conformal mapping principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes" by Papoulis for foundational concepts
  • Explore "Probability and Statistics for Engineers" by Miller and Freund for practical applications
  • Look for online lecture notes or resources specific to engineering probability topics
  • Investigate supplemental materials such as Schaum's outlines for additional practice problems
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, educators in probability and statistics, and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of probability in engineering applications.

Dear all,

I'm currently taking an engineering module which is probability based. However, it's not a maths module. Instead, it's a probability module designed to come under the context of engineering. The probability topics range from sets, RV, PDF, applied statistics, random process, complex analysis, conformal mapping, linear algebra and optimization.

I have been searching online for alternative lecture notes to supplement my reading and understanding. However, I'm unable to find it any good notes to refer. Hence, I'm wondering if any of you may happen to come across some good notes to recommend.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rela

hmm, i dunno, when i took it, we used the Papoulis book, which starts off with an axiomatic treatment of probability. it was maybe the most mathematical class i ever took, despite being in the engineering department. i think i had a Schaum's outline as supplemental material, but that was it.
 
Although I think the Papoulis - Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes is a great book, there is another book with a somewhat less theoretical approach you might want to have a look at - Miller and Freund - Probability and Statistics for Engineers.
Good Luck.
