Weak Convergence part of Graduate Course in WEAK CONVERGENCE OF PROBABILITY MEASURES (6 Credits) Time for Course =============== We will use the following times for lectures Friday 22/3 13.15-15.00 in room S2 Monday 25/3 13.15-15.00 in room MD6 <-- Note the room Thursday 28/3 8.15-10.00 in room S1 <-- Note day and time Tuesday 2/4 8.15-10.00 in room S1 <-- Note day and time Friday 5/4 13.15-15.00 in room S1 and from then and until course finishes Mondays and Fridays 13.15-15.00 in room S1 except Monday 15/4 when we will be in MD3. First Lecture Friday 22/3 ========================== We use first hour of first lecture to give overview of field, to explain why weak convergence is important in virtually all subfields of probabil- ity (including applied such), and why it is "the strong weak convergence" that we do in this course (weak convergence of, for example, whole stoch- astic processes, not only the marginals), that is needed. We also talk some about literature in field. Grading Proceedures Grading is handled in following way: For each lectu- =================== re participant should hand in "microtheorem", which (s)he should state (her/him)self, and then prove. Microtheorem should connect closely to material covered in lecture (but obviously not be cov- ered exactly by literature), and should be reasonably non-trivial. Wellcome (even if not attending introductory meeting), Patrik Albin
