Introductory course & reading list
To succeed in the program, it is strongly recommended to complete the intensive course "Introduction to Probability". It is held in person at the Mathematics Institute of LMU in late September-early October, before regular lectures begin in mid-October.
Before taking the intensive course, we also suggest the following reading list:
- H. Bauer. Probability theory, volume 23 of De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics. Walter de Gruyter & Co., Berlin, german edition, 1996.
- H. Bauer. Measure and integration theory, volume 26 of De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics. Walter de Gruyter & Co., Berlin, 2001. Translated from the German by Robert B. Burckel.
- D. L. Cohn. Measure theory. Birkhäuser Advanced Texts: Basler Lehrbücher. [Birkhäuser Advanced Texts: Basel Textbooks]. Birkhäuser/Springer, New York, second edition, 2013.
