In this course I plan to give an introduction to Markov chains, random walks on graphs and their applications. This course assumes a reasonable knowledge of mathematics and probability theory. It is intended for computer science PhD students. It is expected to be possible for PhD students to take the course for credit, the exact number of ECTS and exam form will be negotiated later.
