| Probability theory is the study of
random events and processes. A mathematical discipline in
its own right, probability theory also plays an important
role in many other areas of mathematics, such as partial
differential equations, analysis, and combinatorics. It
provides the theoretical basis for statistics.
Probability is also an applied science, with important
applications in statistical mechanics, mathematical
biology, finance, theoretical computer science and
telecommunications.
The UBC Mathematics Department is an outstanding centre for research in Probability.
