Fokker--Planck equations (FPE) are differential equations for measures. We will reveal the central role FPEs play as a bridge between stochastics and analysis. In itself, they are an interesting class of equations with close connections to PDEs. The most striking aspect, which has sparked substantial recent research interest, is the intimate connection to stochastic analysis: Every stochastic differential equation has a FPE such that the one-dimensional time marginals of solutions of the former solve the latter. After an introduction to the topic, our first cornerstone will be the superposition principle, which reverses this relation. We shall also study the connection to Markov processes.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
