Course Overview
Intended for an electrical engineering audience, the Probability Foundations for Electrical Engineers certification by Swayam touches upon the fundamental aspects of the probability theory. Probability theory and its models play a significant part in various aspects of design and implementation, communications, networking applications, and signal processing.
Besides, the Probability Foundations for Electrical Engineers certification syllabus covers vital concepts of probability like conditional probability, continuous random variables, discrete random variables, variance, correlation, and the like. This AICTE approved course will require candidates to have basic calculus knowledge to better grasp the course.
The Probability Foundations for Electrical Engineers online course is taught by two eminent professors from IIT Madras known as Prof. Andrew Thangaraj and Prof. Aravind R, who hails from the electrical engineering department. Although the course isn’t directly relevant to industries, it is a foundational path towards various other courses like Wireless/Digital communication, adaptive signal processing, and the like.
