Ten lectures by mathematics faculty members on interesting topics from both classical and modern mathematics. All lectures accessible to students with calculus background and an interest in mathematics. At each lecture, reading and exercises are assigned. Students prepare these for discussion in a weekly problem session.
Students taking 18.095 for credit are expected to attend regularly and to do problem sets.

Opportunity for group study of advanced subjects in mathematics not otherwise included in the curriculum. Offerings are initiated by members of the Mathematics faculty on an ad hoc basis, subject to Departmental approval.
The course will start with a review of basic probability notions. We will then introduce Markov chains and Brownian motion/Wiener processes and discuss integration over the space of all trajectories of a Wiener process. If time allows we will present a crash introduction to quantum field theory and the one-dimensional Feynman integral and explain the relationship between the Feynman and Wiener integrals. Problem sets will be assigned. Reference: "Brownian Motion and Stochastic Calculus" by Karatzas and Shreve.
