August 2012 - July 2013

Probability is a quantitative measure of randomness or chance. Since randomness is all pervasive, probability plays an important role in all branches of science and engi- neering. Limit theorems in probability e.g., the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem play a centre stage in almost everything including weather forecasting, psephology etc. In this context the year 2013 is a special year since it would mark 300 years of the law of large numbers.

Under the proposed thematic programme, we plan carry out training and research in various areas of probability including random matrices, random geometric graphs, percolation theory, heavy tailed distribution, controlled diusion processes etc.

In particular we plan to have the following programmes:

• Workshop on Mathematical Finance
  
(October 29 - November 03, 2012)


• Workshop on Limit Theorems in Probability
  
(January 02 - 08, 2013)


• Conference on Limit Theorems in Probability
  
(January 09 - 11, 2013)


• School on Stochastic Processes in Engineering
  
(March 11 - 15, 2013)


• Conference on New Directions in Probability
  
(May 30 - June 04, 2013)
