This document outlines the units of study for a course on Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes. Unit I introduces probability and random variables, including definitions, axioms, and types of random variables. Unit II covers distribution and density functions of one random variable as well as expectations. Unit III discusses multiple random variables and operations on them. Unit IV describes temporal characteristics of stochastic processes including stationarity, ergodicity, and autocorrelation. Finally, Unit V covers spectral characteristics of stochastic processes such as power spectrum and relationship to autocorrelation.
