Subject: New Book, A Ramble Through Probability


A Ramble Through Probability: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
Measure Theory by Samopriya Basu, Troy Butler, Don Estep, and Nishant
Panda

Measure theory and measure-theoretic probability are fascinating
subjects. Proofs describing profound ways to reason lead to results
that are frequently startling, beautiful, and useful. Measure theory
and probability also play roles in the development of pure and applied
mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, and finance. Indeed, it
is difficult to overstate their importance in the quantitative
disciplines. This book traces an eclectic path through the
fundamentals of the topic to make the material accessible to a broad
range of students.

A Ramble through Probability: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
Measure Theory brings together the key elements and applications in a
unified presentation aimed at developing intuition; contains an
extensive collection of examples that illustrate, explain, and apply
the theories; and is supplemented with videos containing commentary
and explanations of select proofs on an ancillary website.

Subject: Course, Turbulence in Environmental Flows, Italy, May-Jun 2024


We offer a 2-week course on Turbulence in Environmental Flows
(abstract below) organized by the Department of Civil, Environmental
and Mechanical Engineering (https://www.dicam.unitn.it/en) of the
University of Trento, Italy, from 27 May to 7 June 2024.
Participation is open to MSc and PhD students, young researchers and
practitioners. The course can be attended on site or online for a
total duration of 60 hours (including hands-on tutorials),
corresponding to 6 ECTS for MSc students. A small fee (216 Euro) is
required for the registration, which closes on 31 March 2024.

The relevant information can be found in the course's website:
https://sites.google.com/unitn.it/turbulence-env-flows
but do not hesitate to contact us for specific requests.

Turbulence in environmental flows
Abstract. Turbulence is one of the last mysteries, not yet fully
understood, in nonlinear fluid mechanics (including multiphase
flows). In this course, we provide an introduction to turbulence by
coupling the analysis of the most used numerical models (e.g.,
k-epsilon model) and the interpretation of real-world measurements,
with a special focus on processes occurring in the atmosphere and in
stratified water bodies such as lakes. The course covers theoretical
and numerical aspects of turbulence modelling and introduces the
necessary statistical tools for the analysis of data from turbulence
observations both in the field and in the laboratory. Theoretical
aspects are supported by numerous hands-on tutorials.

integer programs will be used, which transform the problem into a
convex one. Important details regarding the relationship of these
relaxations to the integer solutions, and the computational
implications, will be the focus of the PhD study.
