Course Objectives | Most problems encountered in scientific research requires acquaintance with stochastic models and the solution techniques used for these models. The stochastic versions of deterministic problems may also be defined and modelled. Using the models and techniques taught in this course, solution approaches will be sought to problems that are stochastic in nature or to the stochastic versions of deterministic problems. The student will gain the ability to build and analyze models. |

Course Description | The course involves defining and modelling a stochastic process and solving the problems related to the stochastic process being investigated. The underlying theory will be taught, followed by applications that illustrate the use of a stochastic process. |
