This course is an introduction to stochastic processes. The course will cover Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, martingales, and Brownian motion. Theory and applications will each play a major role in the course. Applications will range widely and may include problems from population genetics, statistical physics, chemical reaction networks, and queueing systems, for example.
