MATH-251(b): Numerical analysisThe students will learn key numerical techniques for solving standard mathematical problems in science and engineering. The underlying mathematical theory and properties are discussed.
MATH-642: Artificial LifeWe will give an overview of the field of Artificial Life (Alife). We study questions such as emergence of complexity, self-reproduction, evolution, both through concrete models and through mathematica
FIN-414: Optimization methodsThis course presents the problem of static optimization, with and without (equality and inequality) constraints, both from the theoretical (optimality conditions) and methodological (algorithms) point
MATH-615: Gaussian free field through random walksIn this lecture series some important objects of random geometry are introduced and studied. In particular, the relation between the Gaussian free field and random walks / Brownian motions is explored
