Expand Up @@ -163,58 +163,5 @@ this course, since there is a fair amount of overlap, with the graduate course
focusing more on understanding the method and the undergraduate course more on
using FEM software (COMSOL) for a larger variety of applications.


## Statistics for Monte Carlo (Math)
- C281A: Probability Theory
The course is designed as a sequence with Statistics C205B/Mathematics C218B
with the following combined syllabus. Measure theory concepts needed for
probability. Expection, distributions. Laws of large numbers and central limit
theorems for independent random variables. Characteristic function methods.
Conditional expectations, martingales and martingale convergence theorems.
Markov chains. Stationary processes. Brownian motion. Also listed as Statistics
C205A.

- C223A/B: Advanced Topics in Probability and Stochastic Processes
The topics of this course change each semester, and multiple sections may be
offered. Advanced topics in probabilty offered according to students demand and
faculty availability. Also listed as Statistics C206A.


## Statistics (stat)

### Probably Useful
+ 150: Stochastic Processes
Random walks, discrete time Markov chains, Poisson processes. Further topics
such as: continuous time Markov chains, queueing theory, point processes,
branching processes, renewal theory, stationary processes, Gaussian processes.

+ 157: Seminar on Topics in Probability and Statistics: Reproducible and
Collaborative Data Science
Substantial student participation required. The topics to be covered each
semester that the course may be offered will be announced by the middle of the
preceding semester; see departmental bulletins. Recent topics include: Bayesian
statistics, statistics and finance, random matrix theory, high-dimensional
statistics.

### Possibly Useful
- 20: Introduction to Probability and Statistics
For students with mathematical background who wish to acquire basic concepts.
Relative frequencies, discrete probability, random variables, expectation.
Testing hypotheses. Estimation. Illustrations from various fields.

- 134: Concepts of Probability
An introduction to probability, emphasizing concepts and applications.
Conditional expectation, independence, laws of large numbers. Discrete and
continuous random variables. Central limit theorem. Selected topics such as the
Poisson process, Markov chains, characteristic functions.

- C206B: Advanced Topics in Probability and Stochastic Processes
We will cover a range of topics in modern discrete probability structured
around 3-5 week modules on some of the following topics (percolation, random
graphs, mixing times/Markov chains, spin systems, concentration
inequalities/large deviations, random walks in random environments, random
constrain satisfaction problems) - the exact choice will depend on student
interests.
