The aim of this course is to familiarise students with basic concepts of Probability Theory with reasonable amount of rigor. Examples will be used for motivating students to learn and understand the basic concepts. Topics include: basics of probability theory, random variables, moments and other functions of random variables, limit theorems and inequalities, Poisson process, and Markov chains.
