Course Overview

EE178/278A is an introductory course in probability theory, and applications of probability to engineering systems. It also provides some exposure to statistics and statistical signal processing. EE178/278A provides the background for several more advanced courses in statistical signal processing and communications (such as EE278B and EE279) that are taught in Stanford. For an overview of the topics covered, please refer to the course information section of this website.

Note: We would like to alert you to an important restructuring of our old EE178 and 278 courses. Beginning this Fall, these courses will be replaced with:

  • EE178/278A: This course covers the material in the original 178, and is the recommended quals preparation course for probability (signals). Incoming MS students who do not have a good background in probability are encouraged to first take 278A. In addition, 178 is now the recommended undergraduate probability course for EE's. Graduate students should register for 278A, which is a 3-unit course and undergraduates should register for 178, which is 3-4 units. Undergraduates who register for 4 units are required to attend an additional one hour review and discussion section.

  • EE278B: This is an updated version of the old 278. It is changed by significantly reducing the review of probability part and adding more on random processes and statistical signal processing. EE178/278A or equivalent is the prerequisite for this course.

Both courses are taught twice a year. EE178/278A is offered in Fall and Spring, and EE278B is offered in Fall and Winter.

Contact Professor El Gamal (abbas AT ee DOT stanford DOT edu) or Professor Weissman (tsachy AT stanford DOT edu) if you have any questions about these courses.
