Desired Learning Outcomes
Prerequisites
This course has Math 646 as a prerequisite, so it can build on the work done in that class.
Minimal learning outcomes
Outlined below are topics that all successful Math 544 students should understand well. As evidence of that understanding, students should be able to demonstrate mastery of all relevant vocabulary, familiarity with common examples and counterexamples, knowledge of the content of the major theorems, understanding of the ideas in their proofs, and ability to make direct application of those results to related problems.
- The Daniell-Kolmogorov Theorem
- Stochastic processes and filtrations
- Continuous-time Martingales
- Brownian motion
- Gaussian processes
- Levy processes
- Regular conditional probabilities
- Markov processes
- Stochastic integration
- Itô's formula
Textbooks
