Probability

From Mathematics

Probability is a subtle concept that is typically defined in terms of the relative frequency of occurrence of an event, or the degree of belief that the event will occur (or that a statement is true, etc.).

Elementary probability 

Sometimes introduced in primary school mathematics classes, the first serious study of the subject is usually undertaken in secondary school or university level courses

Probability theory 

Formal, axiomatic study at the university level, based on real analysis and especially measure theory.
