MATH-512: Optimization on manifoldsWe develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemann
MATH-513: Metric embeddingsThe course aims to introduce the basic concepts and results on metric embeddings, or more precisely on approximate embeddings. This area has been under rapid development since the 90's and it has stro
MATH-487: Topics in stochastic analysisThis course offers an introduction to topics in stochastic analysis, oriented about theory of multi-scale stochastic dynamics. We shall learn the fundamental ideas, relevant techniques, and in general
PHYS-428: Relativity and cosmology IIThis course is the basic introduction to modern cosmology. It introduces students to the main concepts and formalism of cosmology, the observational status of Hot Big Bang theory
and discusses major
MATH-502: Distribution and interpolation spacesThe goal of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of distributions and cover the fundamental results of Sobolev spaces including fractional spaces that appear in the interpolation theor
