EE226, Fall 2009
Random Processes in Systems

Tues. and Thurs.: 12:30 - 2:00 pm
289 Cory

Discussion Section:
Wednesday, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, 293 Cory

Prerequisite:

Solid undergraduate courses in probability (equivalent to EECS 126), linear algebra (equivalent to Math 54) and signals and systems (equivalent to EECS 120). There is a lot of material to be covered in this course, so familiarity with basic probability concepts is particularly essential. If your undergraduate probability course is at a significantly lower level than EECS 126, taking EECS 126 first may be a safer bet. If you are unsure whether your background is sufficinet, please come and talk to me.
Texts:
The reader Stochastic Processes: A conceptual approach, by R.G. Gallager and the book Essentials of Stochastic Processes, by Rick Durrett are the basic texts of the course. The reader is available from Copy Central on Hearst.
