Central Limit theorem
This course shall make the student confident with fundamental functions and main concepts in calculus and probability theory.
After course completion the student should be able to
- formulate a mathematical model from a given text problem
in single-variable calculus and elementary probability theory
translate the mathematical model into a mathematical programming
language (e.g. Mathematica or Maple)
- analyze and review a solution and make conclusions (synthesis)
