Math 4740: Course Project

The goal of the course project is to give you an opportunity to explore applications of stochastic processes in a field you love (possibly your major). It will also give you a sense of what it's like to be down in the trenches reading and writing scientific literature.

Find an article in a peer-reviewed journal in your area of interest which uses a stochastic process as a model for some "real-life" behavior. Write a review giving a summary and critique of the approach used in the article. Please address the following questions:

Here are three examples of good projects from a previous class:

Here are some guidelines on writing and submitting your review:

Feel free to come see me with any questions that may arise at any stage of this project.
