Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that primarily investigates random events and their probabilities. In undergraduate education, probability theory serves as a foundational course not only for mathematics and statistics majors but has also gradually become an essential tool in interdisciplinary research. This article explores the application and significance of undergraduate probability theory in interdisciplinary fields, with a specific analysis of its practical use cases in areas such as data science, engineering, and social sciences. It demonstrates how probability theory fosters integration and innovation across different disciplines. The paper also examines the current status and challenges of incorporating probability theory into educational models, concluding with potential directions for the future of interdisciplinary research.
