This repository contains the source for the website Probability and Statistics Applications for Engineers. The website is a self-paced online course, which is meant to be a way to refresh knowledge of BSc-level probability and statistics concepts. This course was originally developed for students in the fields of: Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Applied Earth Sciences and Construction Management and Engineering. These programs are part of the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. We try to draw on examples from these fields, but the course contents should be relevant for any engineering or applied geoscience discipline.
This course was originally created to support incoming students to the MSc programs at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. In the first year, students of all three programs take a course CEGM1000: Modeling, Uncertainty and Data for Engineers (MUDE), a module introduced in the new MSc curriculum starting with the 202223 school year. One of the pre-requisites is BSc-level probability and statistics, and this online course was developed to support incoming students in need of a refresher.
The website is made using Jupyter Book.

Financial support for this project was provided through an open education grant from the Educational Management Team for the Civil Engineering and Geosciences Faculty at Delft in 2022 and again in 2023. The course was designed by Robert Lanzafame and Miguel Mendoza Lugo. Miguel Mendoza Lugo set up the Jupyter Book. Special thanks goes to Caspar Jungbacker, who set up the GitHub repository to make this book and website possible, as well as Ahmed Farahat who carefully reviewed and corrected the contents prior to the Summer 2023 edition. Contributors to the technical content include:
This Book is maintained and developed by staff of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of TU Delft, the Netherlands.
