一、課程說明(Course Description)
This course will cover the fundamental theory of random processes with
emphasis on applications to signal processing and communications. This is a
basic yet important course for students pursuing studies in these fields.
The course will include basic concepts, stationarity, convergence of random
sequences, law of large numbers, important examples of random processes, and
applications to communications and signal processing.
