This course covers probabilistic aspects of risk management intended for those familiar with probability theory. Games of chance are used as models of real-world situations of decision-making under uncertainty. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations of probability theory and stochastic processes. They will apply concepts in game theory and probability theory to real-world problems in risk management.
