GRADUATE COURSES  

 

MATH 6303 - Modern Algebra II

Prerequisites: Graduate standing. MATH 4333 or MATH 4378 

Additional Prerequisites: students should be comfortable with basic measure theory, groups rings and fields, and point-set topology
Text(s): No textbook is required.
Description: Topics from the theory of groups, rings, fields, and modules. 
Additional Description: This is primarily a course about analysis on topological groups. The aim is to explain how many of the techniques from classical and harmonic analysis can be extended to the setting of locally compact groups (i.e. groups possessing a locally compact topology which is compatible with their algebraic structure). In the first part of the course we will review basic point set topology and introduce the concept of a topological group. The examples of p-adic numbers and the Adeles will be presented in detail, and we will also spend some time discussing SL_2(R). Next we will talk about characters on topological groups, Pontryagin duality, Haar measure, the Fourier transform, and the inversion formula. We will focus on developing details in specific groups (including those mentioned above), and applications to ergodic theory and to number theory will be discussed.

MATH 6397 (20304)  - Bayesian Statistics

Prerequisites: Graduate standing. Graduate Probability.
 Text(s):
  • Peter Hoff (2009). A first course in Bayesian statistical methods. Springer
  • Brian J. Reich & Sujit K. Ghosh (2019). Bayesian Statistical Methods. CRC Press.

 Description: This is an introductory course on Bayesian statistics for graduate students. The course introduces the Bayesian paradigm and focus on Bayesian modeling, computation, and inference.
  • We first convey the ideology of Bayesian statistics which is a particular approach to statistical inference that differs philosophically and operationally from the classic frequentist approach.
  • We then define Bayesian inference and discuss its advantages. Detailed applications are illustrated using some classical models, including binomial, Poisson, univariate normal, multivariate normal model, and linear regression.
  • We go through each step of building Bayesian hierarchical models and apply Bayes’ theorem to derive posterior distributions.
  • To inference on posterior distributions, MCMC algorithm is introduced as a modern method of approximating posteriors
