Overview - Department of Mathematics
www.math.uchicago.eduOverview This is an introduction to the mathematical foundations of probability theory. It is intended as a supplement or follow-up to a graduate course in real analysis. The rst two sections assume the knowledge of measure spaces, measurable functions, Lebesgue integral, and notions of convergence of functions; the third assumes ...

Random Walk: A Modern Introduction
www.math.uchicago.eduRandom walk – the stochastic process formed by successive summation of independent, identically distributed random variables – is one of the most basic and well-studied topics in probability theory. For random walks on the integer lattice Zd, the main reference is the classic book by Spitzer [16].
Stochastic Calculus: An Introduction with Applications
www.math.uchicago.eduThis is an introduction to stochastic calculus. I will assume that the reader has had a post-calculus course in probability or statistics. For much of these notes this is all that is needed, but to have a deep understanding of the subject, one needs to know measure theory and probability from that per-spective.

A Concise Course in Algebraic Topology J. P. May
www.math.uchicago.eduneeds of algebraic topologists would include spectral sequences and an array of calculations with them. In the end, the overriding pedagogical goal has been the introduction of basic ideas and methods of thought. Our understanding of the foundations of algebraic topology has undergone sub-tle but serious changes since I began teaching this course.
