 EE391 - Mathmatics Background
 u Probability theory is based on the mathematics of
 sets.  A set can be used to define a “Sample Space” which enumerates the possible outcomes of an
 “experiment”.  Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of
 positive outcomes to the number of all possible outcomes
 in an experiment.
u We will now review some
 set theory to have some tools we can use in
 this course.
u Later in the course we will also need to review Sums, Calculus, Integral Transforms, and some Linear Algebra.
