概要 This lecture series is intended for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students of mathematics, economics or finance having an interest in applied probability. Ideally, students must have taken at least a one-semester course in (calculus-based) probability and have some basic notion of Markov chains and random walks. Some knowledge of measure and integration theory is also helpful, but not required as the concepts that depend on measure theory will be explained also at an intuitive level.
