MATH-414: Stochastic simulationThe student who follows this course will get acquainted with computational tools used to analyze systems with uncertainty arising in engineering, physics, chemistry, and economics. Focus will be on s
COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how
MATH-432: Probability theoryThe course is based on Durrett's text book
Probability: Theory and Examples.
It takes the measure theory approach to probability theory, wherein expectations are simply abstract integrals.
MATH-506: Topology IV.b - cohomology ringsSingular cohomology is defined by dualizing the singular chain complex for spaces. We will study its basic properties, see how it acquires a multiplicative structure and becomes a graded commutative a
PHYS-467: Machine learning for physicistsMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practi
MATH-495: Mathematical quantum mechanicsQuantum mechanics is one of the most successful physical theories. This course presents the mathematical formalism (functional analysis and spectral theory) that underlies quantum mechanics. It is sim
