PROBABILITY: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS
August 2012 - July 2013
Probability is a quantitative measure of randomness or chance. Since randomness
is all pervasive, probability plays an important role in all branches of science and engi-
neering. Limit theorems in probability e.g., the law of large numbers and the central
limit theorem play a centre stage in almost everything including weather forecasting,
psephology etc. In this context the year 2013 is a special year since it would mark
300 years of the law of large numbers.
Under the proposed thematic programme, we plan carry out training and research
in various areas of probability including random matrices, random geometric graphs,
percolation theory, heavy tailed distribution, controlled di usion processes etc.
In particular we plan to have the following programmes:
Workshop on Mathematical Finance
(October 29 - November 03, 2012)
Workshop on Limit Theorems in Probability
(January 02 - 08, 2013)
Conference on Limit Theorems in Probability
(January 09 - 11, 2013)
Workshop and Conference on Stochastic Processes in Engineering
(March 10 - 16, 2013)
Workshop and Conference on New Directions in Probability
(May 30 - June 03, 2013)
In addition to the above, we plan to organize a large number of compact courses
in various topics in probability.
