Introductory probabilistic and stochastic analysis and design of circuits

The authors introduce the subject of probabilistic and stochastic analysis and design of circuits to nonspecialists and emphasize the need for teaching the subject to senior level undergraduates. It is argued that as this subject area synthesizes ideas from systems theory, electrical circuit analysis and design, matrix methods, probability and stochastic theories, numerical methods, optimization and symbolic algebra, this will be an ideal course to demonstrate the use of most of the background subjects, and relevant computing techniques and software. Problems solved could include electrical engineering problems, and other engineering problems modeled with electrical analogs
