Graduate Course in WEAK CONVERGENCE OF PROBABILITY MEASURES (2+6 Credits) (Third announcement) Time for Course =============== Enquiry about starting time showed that math.stat. students wanted course delayed, but "other (e.g., math.) students" wanted course now. Since the latter category is in majority, and it is most natural to proceed as or- iginally planned, it follows that course should be given now. Introductory Meeting ==================== We have a short introductory meeting, in room S1 (=room 1305), at math centre, Monday 18 February 12.30. Purpose of meeting is to agree on two weekly two-hour sessions, to be used for lectures. And to decide about grading procedures (see below). People who cannot come to introductory meeting should email me their preferences about times, and grading. Since switch from Topology part to Weak Convergence Part of course takes place in connection with switch from third to fourth semester at Chal- mers, and it is not completely the same students that will follow the two parts, we make new decision about times when we come to Weak Convergence. Literature ========== For people who have not been able to shop the book SIMMONS: INTRODUCTION TO TOPOLOGY AND MODERN ANALYSIS, McGraw-Hill 1963, (for Topology part of course), I will be able to supply xerox copies, for temporary use. One can "sign up" for copy at introductory meeting. Grading Proceedures =================== I will ask at introductory meeting, what kind of grading is preferred. Regardless of what is decided, there will be a possibility for students who do not agree, to have an exam on the course (or any part of it), when course is finished. (For the sake of fairness, I have to make sure that such exam is not easier than the "mainstream one".) Subsequent Information about Course =================================== When schedule for course has been determined, at introductory meeting, I will distribute it by "general email" (md-alla etc.). After that, I do not plan to have any more general "send-outs" about course (or announce every move via "veckobladet"), except informing about when switching from Topology to Weak Convergence. So people who wonder about course, later, should feel wellcome to contact me via email. Best regards and wellcome, Patrik Albin
