| Detailed information |
| Original study plan |
Bachelor's programme Technical Mathematics 2022W |
| Objectives |
At the end of the course, students will have an overview of the main techniques for the simulation of pseudo-random numbers from diverse distributions, know how to use these numbers to simulate different stochastic processes, and gained an insight into Monte Carlo methods. Moreover, students will have worked with the software R.
