9. Course Prerequisites
10. Course Goals (acquired competencies):

The student is introduced to stochastic processes and Ito integrals. The student knows how to solve simple stochastic differential equations and discusses the type of solution (weak or strong). The student knows how to recognize linear stochastic differential equations and vector stochastic differential equations.

11. Course Syllabus:

Introduction to stochastic processes. Mathematical interpretation of equations involving noise. Martingales. Ito processes (stochastic integrals). One-dimensional and multi-dimensional Ito’s formula. Existence and uniqueness theorem of stochastic differential equations. Weak and strong solutions. A linear stochastic differential equation. Reducible stochastic differential equations. Some equations are solved explicitly. Vector stochastic differential equations.

12. Learning methods:

Blended way of learning: lectures supported by presentations and visualization of concepts and independent project assignments.
