43836	Lecture-Discussion	UQ	8:30AM -9:50AM	MW	Newmark Civil Engineering Bldg	Meidani, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Uncertainty Quantification Section Info: Uncertainty Quantification This course introduces students to relevant paradigms, mathematical foundations and numerical techniques in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) which is a research area of growing importance. The surveyed numerical techniques include Polynomiial Chaos Expansion, Compressive Sampling, Gaussin Processes, surrogate-based Bayesian inference, etc. The course will cover forward predictive analysis, model calibration, validation, and also model selection under uncertainties. Examples will be drawn from general PDEs, ODEs, as well as real-world examples in science and engineering applications. Prerequisite: Background knowledge and experience in probability theory and statistics (undergraduate level), numerical methods, and good programming skills. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
