To successfully learn the discipline “Stochastic models of applied mathematics. M.1. Statistical modelling. M.2. Optimal stopping of Markov chains” the student should satisfy the following requirements. They know (a) fundamentals of mathematical methods for construction, verification and investigation of qualitative characteristics of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models; (b) classical methods of Calculus, Algebra and Probability Theory. They can (a) investigate qualitative characteristics of available mathematical models; (b) apply classical methods for solving applied problems in deterministic and stochastic models. They should be able to (a) apply classical methods of Calculus and Probability Theory; (b) seek information in open sources and properly analyze it.
