Deterministic and Indeterministic Processes, Probabilities and Chance<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>
In this introductory class to Probability Theory, we will explore the connection between deterministic and indeterministic processes and their relationship with probabilities and chance. We will see how processes in nature are classified into two mutually exclusive species and how they are understood through deterministic and indeterministic models. In addition, we will examine how the lack of control over the environment and initial conditions leads to indeterministic processes and the need to deal with a multitude of possible states. Finally, we will address the topic of chance and probabilities, analyzing the example of a coin toss and how the understanding of probability is obtained from experiments with equiprobable outcomes.<\/em><\/p>\n
