Statistical learning and modelling
This course will attempt to give an intermediate-level overview of concepts and methods in statistics and statistical modelling. I'll aim to present both mathematical theory including proofs as well as practical details of implementation via description of algorithms and programming.

Prerequisite
Strictly speaking, no prerequisite is necessary other than basic linear algebra and real analysis, but the following could be helpful for motivation: an understanding of measure theory; an introductory course in statistics, covering concepts such as sampling, the normal distribution, etc; an introductory course in statistical learning covering things like linear regression.
