Introduction to Stochastic Processes and Computer Simulation
Introduction to Stochastic Processes and Computer Simulation
Assessment:
Project Presentation 10%
Project Report 30%
Homework assignments 35%
Exams 25%
Threshold: in order to pass the course, a minimum of 55/100 in the exams is required.
A word of advise:
Start working on your research project early on.
Workload:
In addition to the midterm and final examinations, there will be student presentations of research projects, and five homework assignments.
It is highly recommended that students use at least one hour per week for team work and two hours per week for homework. Homework assignments can be solved by teams (only one copy per team).
Research Projects:
Research projects will be assigned to teams of 2 to 3 students. These projects will involve:
modeling a situation of interest and stating a research question,
application of theoretical results, and/or
experimental design for computer simulations. The students will program the simulations and analyze the results.
WARNING
Dates on calendar are closer than they appear to be!
Useful Documentation:
We have adapted Prof Natashia Boland’s documents to provide guidance on how to prepare the report and the presentation of your research project.
