PHYS-436: Statistical physics IVNoise and fluctuations play a crucial role in science and technology. This course treats stochastic methods, applying them to both classical problems and quantum systems. It emphasizes the frameworks
PHYS-468: Physics of lifeLife has emerged on our planet from physical principles such as molecular self-organization, thermodynamics, stochastics and iterative refinement. This course will introduce the physical methods to st
ENV-411: Ecohydrological modelingThis course provides the theoretical basis for understanding and modeling the interactions between the hydrologic cycle, vegetation, soil, climate, and human society.
MATH-403: Randomized matrix computationsThis course is concerned with randomized algorithms that have been developed during the last decade to solve large-scale linear algebra problems from, for example, scientific computing and statistica
EE-726: Sparse stochastic processesWe cover the theory and applications of sparse stochastic processes (SSP). SSP are solutions of differential equations driven by non-Gaussian innovations. They admit a parsimonious representation in a
FIN-472: Computational financeParticipants of this course will master computational techniques frequently used in mathematical finance applications. Emphasis will be put on the implementation and practical aspects.
MATH-425: Spatial statisticsIn this course we will focus on stochastic approaches for modelling phenomena taking place in multivariate spaces. Our main focus will be on random field models and on statistical methods for model-ba
