Is this the same as Probability Theory?

Hey everyone,

Just a quick yes or no question, is the description below what one can expect in a Probability Theory course?

This is considered as a 2nd year course at my University. It's called elementary Probability.

Introduction to the theory of probability as preparation for further study in either mathematical or applied probability and statistics. Topics include probability spaces, conditional probability, independence, random variables, distribution functions, expectation, Chebyshev's inequality, common distributions, moment-generating functions and limit theorems. Prerequisite: One of SC/MATH 1010 3.00, SC/MATH 1014 3.00, SC/MATH 1310 3.00. Prior to Fall 2009: Prerequisite: One of AS/SC/MATH 1010 3.00, AS/SC/MATH 1014 3.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 1310 3.00.

Thank you

This should be a fine course as long as it uses calculus.

Thanks for the reply

it uses single variable integration and a text book called:

Probability by Pitman; 1st edition, Springer Verlag 1993.
