Projektseminar (Functional Analysis): Topics in random matrix theory
Wintersemester 2014/15

Time and Place
Type: Time: Place: Start:
PJSE 2 std. Di 12:05-13:35 SR10 7.10
Topics
Ramdom matrix theory is a hot topic both in mathematics and physics with important connections to many other areas. We will try to take a first look into this fascinating area by reading the book Topics in random matrix theory by Terence Tao.
