Part III — The Probability Core

Booklet: Abridged Math Foundations for Signals and Systems, Lessons 16–20 (PDF).

Probability models, conditioning, and Bayes’ rule; discrete and continuous random variables; expectation and variance; joint distributions and conditioning; the normal distribution.

17 exercises across Lessons 16–19 — 8 [Hand], 9 [Proof]. Lesson 20 is Capstone III (a project, no exercise block).
