A proof-oriented development of basic probability theory. Counting; axioms of probability; conditioning and independence; expectation and variance; discrete and continuous random variables and distributions; joint distributions and dependence; Central Limit Theorem and laws of large numbers. CS majors can petition to use Math MATH 151 in place of CS 109, provided they expect to take either CS 228 or CS 229 as well. Prerequisite: Math 61CM, or Math MATH 52 and either Math MATH 56 or Math MATH 115 (or equivalent).
