KurzbeschreibungPoisson-Prozesse; Erneuerungsprozesse; Markovketten in diskreter und in stetiger Zeit; einige Beispiele und Anwendungen.
LernzielStochastische Prozesse dienen zur Beschreibung der Entwicklung von Systemen, die sich in einer zufälligen Weise entwickeln. In dieser Vorlesung bezieht sich die Entwicklung auf einen skalaren Parameter, der als Zeit interpretiert wird, so dass wir die zeitliche Entwicklung des Systems studieren. Die Vorlesung präsentiert mehrere Klassen von stochastischen Prozessen, untersucht ihre Eigenschaften und ihr Verhalten und zeigt anhand von einigen Beispielen, wie diese Prozesse eingesetzt werden können. Die Hauptbetonung liegt auf der Theorie; "applied" ist also im Sinne von "applicable" zu verstehen.

401-4532-20LIntroduction to 3-ManifoldsW4 KP2VM. Nagel
KurzbeschreibungThis course provides an introduction to the basic notions and tools of geometric topology with a special focus on three dimensional manifolds.
LernzielIn this course, we become familiar with the basic notions and tools of geometric topology, which concerns low-dimensional manifolds and their embeddings. We will focus on 3–dimensional manifolds. While this class of manifolds is very rich, it still allows for many structural results.
An important goal of the lecture is to learn how to manipulate these manifolds: build them from simple pieces, cut them apart, isotope and simplify submanifolds etc. These techniques from differential topology are combined with invariants from algebraic topology, which are incredibly powerful in encoding properties of a 3–manifold. We discuss applications, which give new intuition for these invariants, and answer many questions about manifolds of dimension three or less.
There are many synergies with Algebraic Topology II, which I encourage you to take in parallel.
