Math 288 Topics in Probability Theory Instructor: J. Mattingly M W 2:50 PM-4:05 PM (Physics 277). The topic will be STOCHASTIC DYNAMICS. I will assume basic graduate probability and some basic stochastic calculus. The course topics will include: random dynamical systems random attractors basic ergodic theory Averaging or fast/slow dynamics Examples of stochastic bifurcation Large Deviation theory for stochastically perturbed dynamical systems
