LECTURE NOTES in their final form (as posted July 18) ps-format / pdf-format

The written exam is without aids. The written exam is on Lectures 1-13 in the lecture notes. Typically the exam will not test memory skills, but rather some basic skills in application of the material we have covered. A score of 40% is required on the exam to pass it. Students who have done many of the exercises should feel assured that they will pass the exam. Undergraduate students will get the highest possible grade (VG or 5) for a >=40% score on the exam, regardless of what that score is. Undergraduate students who will take up graduate studies this fall can have the course registered as a graduate course at the time when their graduate student appointment begins.

The course will continue with a second non-mandatory part consisting of six additional lectures that gives a rather full treatment of weak solutions together with the martingale theory required to that end. In addition, as all we have done extends to multidimensional SDE at the only cost of some added notational difficuilty, it will be pointed out how some of the key results look in several dimensions. This non-mandatory extension of the course is examined by means of students handing in solutions to a healthy number of exercises on these latter lecture notes, or in some other way. The extension gives an additional 7 ECTS credits (in addition to the 8 ECTS credits earned for the first 13 lectures). The lecture notes for the second part of the course are produced by Partik as quickly as possible, and will be finished before midsummer. Students are welcome to complete the second part of the course at any time of their own convenience.

Responsible for the course is Patrik Albin. All questions about the course are welcomed. Everybody is welcome to the course.
