Stochastic Analysis
Probability is a beautiful mathematical theory in itself and a crucial component of many other sciences. Randomness is an essential ingredient in many of the systems that shape the world around us, from evolution and radioactivity to artificial intelligence and financial markets. Studying probability helps us understand these processes and is growing ever more important in a world of big data, randomised algorithms and individual-based modelling.
The Probability Laboratory at Bath (ProbLaB) is a world-leading research centre in probability, bridging pure and applied mathematics, and producing top-quality research outputs while collaborating with industry and other sciences.
