Probability and Statistics

Probability and Statistics. Instructor: Prof. Somesh Kumar, Department of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur. The use of statistical reasoning and methodology is indispensable in modern world. It is true for any discipline, be it physical sciences, engineering and technology, economics or social sciences. Much of the advanced research in biology, genetics, and information science relies increasingly on use of statistical tools. It is essential for the students to get acquainted with the subject of probability and statistics at an early stage. The present course has been designed to introduce the subject to undergraduate/postgraduate students in science and engineering. The course contains a good introduction to each topic and an advance treatment of theory at a fairly understandable level to the students at this stage. Each concept has been explained through examples and application oriented problems. (from nptel.ac.in)
