Past Courses

  • AMCS5999 - Independent Study

    Independent Study allows students to pursue academic interests not available in regularly offered courses. Students must consult with their academic advisor to formulate a project directly related to the student’s research interests. All independent study courses are subject to the approval of the AMCS Graduate Group Chair.

  • AMCS9999 - Ind Study & Research

    Study under the direction of a faculty member.

  • GAS6010 - Proseminar in Grad Stud

    Graduate Arts and Sciences doctoral students may register for GAS 6010 as an introduction to the methods of graduate study and research. To be conducted by individual graduate group faculty.

  • MATH1070 - Mathematics of change, Part I

    Limits, orders of magnitude, differential and integral calculus; Taylor polynomials; estimating and bounding; probability densities. Mathematical modeling and applications to the social, economic and information sciences.

  • MATH1080 - Mathematics of change, Part II

    Multivariate calculus; optimization; multivariate probability densities. Introduction to linear algebra; introduction to differential equations. Mathematical modeling and applications to the social, economic and information sciences.

  • MATH1100 - Calculus for Wharton Students

    Differential calculus, integral calculus, series, differential equations and elements of multivariable calculus, with an emphasis on applications.

  • MATH4990 - Supervised Study

    Study under the direction of a faculty member. Intended for a limited number ofmathematics majors.

  • MATH5460 - Adv Applied Probability

    The required background is (1) enough math background to understand proof techniques in real analysis (closed sets, uniform covergence, fourier series, etc.) and (2) some exposure to probability theory at an intuitive level (a course at the level of Ross's probability text or some exposure to probability in a statistics class).

  • MATH5999 - Independent Study

    Study under the direction of a faculty member. Hours to be arranged.

  • MATH6480 - Probability Theory

    Measure theoretic foundations, laws of large numbers, large deviations, distributional limit theorems, Poisson processes, random walks, stopping times.

  • MATH6490 - Stochastic Processes

    Continuation of MATH 6480/STAT 9300, the 2nd part of Probability Theory for PhD students in the math or statistics department. The main topics include Brownian motion, martingales, Ito's formula, and their applications to random walk and PDE.

  • MATH8710 - Logic Seminar

    Seminar on current and recent literature in logic.

  • MATH8780 - Prob & Algorithm Sem

    Seminar on current and recent literature in probability and algorithms.

  • MATH8810 - Combinatorics Seminar

    Seminar on current and recent literature in combinatorics.

  • STAT9300 - Probability Theory

    Measure theoretic foundations, laws of large numbers, large deviations, distributional limit theorems, Poisson processes, random walks, stopping times.

  • STAT9310 - Stochastic Processes

    Continuation of MATH 6480/STAT 9300, the 2nd part of Probability Theory for PhD students in the math or statistics department. The main topics include Brownian motion, martingales, Ito's formula, and their applications to random walk and PDE.
