20.01 Lecture on Tuesday is at 10.15, usual room

15.01 This week we discuss the laws of large numbers, lecture tomorrow is at 12.15 in 734.

08.01 We started yesterday with Borel-Cantelli lemmas and Infinite Monkey Theorem (ch.5.1 in McDonald, Weiss). Next lecture is on Thursday 12.15 room 734 SB II.

20.12 First lecture will be given on January 7th, Tuesday, room R81 (10.15)
We discuss schedule and the course and start our topic for the week which is foundation of probability theory from analytical point of view. We will learn the zero-one law and prepare the ground for the law of large numbers scheduled for the next week.
