The aim of the course is to introduce students to the theory of probability and some of the statistical methods based upon it. Many physical processes involve random components which can only be modelled using probabilistic methods. Statistical theory is vital for analysing scientific data where it is necessary to distinguish genuine patterns from random fluctuations.
