Note: There is no lecture on May 3, 2022 for it's Labor Day Holiday.
Abstract:
The first half of the course is devoted to explaining fundamental concepts, terms, facts and tools in probability theory and stochastic analysis. Then, in the second half, we pick up some topics in stochastic partial differential equations as applications of stochastic analysis.
