Catalog Course Description:

INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICAL THEORY OF COMMUNICATIONS ( 3)

Prerequisite:

Concurrent:

Administrative matters

Purpose of the course:

The course has a triple orientation shaping the sophistication on these topics and helping the overall maturity.
a) Point out the underlining mathematical principles of Communication Theory and potential applications.
b) Give experience in solving problems using specific mathematical methods.
c) Emphasize the sequence: Underlining Physical Principle - Mathematical Model of a Real Situation Case - Mathematical Method.

Grading:

The final grade (F.G.) is determined from the following:
a) Two examinations (E1, E2) during the semester will be given , each one counting 20% of the final grade.
b) Homework problems (HW) will be assigned for each topic, counting 20% of the final grade.
c) A final examination (FE) will be given, counting 30% of the final grade.
d) Attendance and Participation (AP), counting 5% of the final grade.

e) Report on an application (RP), counting 5% of the final grade.

The total number of points will result in the following letter grade:
F.G. = E1 + E2 + HW + FE + AP + RP

96-100 -> A
91-95 -> A
87-90 -> B+
84-86 -> B
81-83 -> B-
76-80 -> C+
71-75 -> C
61-70 -> D
00-60 -> F

Homework: A typical homework will have multi-parts, multiple-choice, short answer questions, analysis, synthesis, study, etc. No late homework will be accepted.

Examination: A typical examination will have four parts for a time period of 50 minutes. No make up examination will be given.
