CME 106: Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers (ENGR 155C)
Probability: random variables, independence, and conditional probability; discrete and continuous distributions, moments, distributions of several random variables. Topics in mathematical statistics: random sampling, point estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, regression and correlation analyses; applications in engineering, industrial manufacturing, medicine, biology, and other fields. Prerequisite:
CME 100/ENGR154 or

CS 250: Error Correcting Codes: Theory and Applications (EE 387)
Introduction to the theory of error correcting codes, emphasizing diverse applications throughout computer science and engineering. Topics include basic bounds on error correcting codes; constructions like Reed-Solomon, Reed-Muller, and expander codes; list-decoding, list-recovery and locality. Applications include communication, storage, complexity theory, pseudorandomness, cryptography, streaming algorithms, group testing, and com-pressed sensing. Prerequisites: Linear algebra, basic probability (at the level of, say,
CS109, CME106 or
EE178), and ¿mathematical maturity¿ (students will be asked to write proofs). Familiarity with finite fields will be helpful but not required.
