MTH3276

Probability Models and Simulation (6 points)

(SCI)

Leader: Associate Professor P R Rayment

Offered:
Gippsland First semester 2004 (OCL)

Synopsis: This subject is designed to introduce students to simple random processes in discrete and continuous time, to develop the ability to build probabilistic models (emphasising queueing models) and to build a basis for design and control of queues. It also introduces them to simulation techniques for solving problems where analytical methods are inappropriate.
