Information
Examination topics
The exam is based on the lecture material of the course. Knowing percolation theory is not formally required in the exam, but many tools involved in it and belonging to the core course material may be asked. Solving exercise problems and participating in the Introductory Seminar (i.e. the exercise class) is very helpful for preparing for the exam.
Assessment and permitted materials
The course is assessed based on performance in a written exam at the end of the course or after the course. Oral exams may be organized for those who wish to retake the exam.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
To pass the course, the student is required to gain a basic understanding of measure-theoretic probability and to be able to tackle simple common applications of the theory. For a high grade, a good command of the more advanced topics and an ability to apply them in various examples is required. For grade 4, around 50% of the maximum points of the exam will be required.There are no formal prerequisites for this course. However, some basic measure theory (eg. some of the core contents in the course "Measure and integration theory"), as well as its prerequisites, are necessary to understand the contents of this course. These prerequisites will be quickly reviewed at the beginning of the course, and a student not familiar with measure theory is advised to invest a fair amount of time to study these along the course. Basic skills in probability calculus are very useful, although not formally required.
