This module will introduce the concepts and theories of Stochastic calculus and the use of Monte Carlo techniques for the solution of high dimensional problems prevalent in modern Engineering (and Finance) applications. Students will be introduced to concepts and techniques in (quasi-) random number generation and the sampling of multidimensional spaces. This will provide a link between stochastic calculus and uncertainty and (global) sensitivity analysis.
The aim of this module is to provide the core mathematical, numerical and analytical skills that underpin the study of complex high-dimensional phenomena and/or phenomena with uncertain, unknown or random aspects. A link between stochastic calculus and the techniques discussed in the first two modules of this Minor will be provided in the form of uncertainty (sensitivity) analysis. An overview of state-of-the-art sensitivity analysis methods will be presented and their suitability to analyze 鈥渞eal-life鈥 problems covering a range of topics (Engineering, Environmental Safety, Finance) will be discussed.
On successfully completing the module, students will be able to:
- Recognize the connections between stochastic processes, stochastic calculus and how stochasticity is embedded in real-life applications;
- Understand the basic concepts of Stochastic Calculus
- Perform integration of simple stochastic processes
- Perform integration of continuous stochastic processes
- Understand the operating principles and limitations of Random Number Generators
- Identify appropriate methods for and perform Sensitivity Analysis on real-life models sourced from various disciplines
- Present and interpret quantitative results in effective and appropriate ways to varied audiences, including non-mathematical or engineering audiences.
