Description: The course treats the basic theory and modelling techniques of Poisson processes and other Markov processes in continuous time.

Contents: Poisson processes (homogeneous, inhomogeneous, compound, multidimensional) with generalizations such as birth and death processes and applications in actuarial mathematics, reliability theory, queueing theory etc.

Literature: Sheldon M. Ross: Introduction to Probability Models, 9th ed., Academic Press 2007. A number of books are available at the student library in the ASA building. Additional material may be used. All material will be available in Room B310.

Prerequisites: Analysis (Calculus), probability theory and a course on linear algebra or matrix calculus. Some knowledge of differential equations is also helpful. Programming ability using a major mathematical programming package such as Mathematica or Matlab is necessary.

Additional information: There will be some compulsory theoretical and numerical exercises and assignments. The course poster may be found here.
