Description including Unit Aims

This unit develops the rigorous theoretical background to much of the probabilistic (and partly statistical) methodology covered in probability/statistics units at levels 1, 2 and 3. It deals with various modes of convergence of random variables and the connections between them, weak laws and strong laws of large numbers, and a range of theorums including Central Limit Theorums, and local limit theorums.
