No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1972–73 to 1981–82 used the number for Policy Studies and Planning of Facilities); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The objective of this course is two-fold: firstly to impress on the students that most processes in the environment occur as random processes and secondly to develop in the students the capability to analyze such processes. The course will review theory of random variables and introduce concepts of random processes and time . series analysis. Physical phenomena in the environment and their random nature will be discussed with examples from the hydrologic cycle, air circulation and ocean circulation.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
