The thermodynamics handout (first part of the subject ‘Chemistry02’) is intended for students of the first year preparatory class, of the National Higher School of renewable energies, environment and sustainable development ‘hns-re2sd’. The content of this course is compatible with the harmonized training program for preparatory classes of higher education schools, taught in the first year S2.

This course provides an elementary introduction to probability theory. It will cover combinatorics, basic probability models, random variables, discrete and continuous probability distributions, pairs of random variables, discrete and continuous joint probability distributions, and convergence of random variables.
