主讲人简介：Zhongmin Qian is a Professor at the University of Oxford. He is interested in stochastic analysis: diffusion processes, rough path analysis, backward stochastic differential equations and stochastic (partial) differential equations. He is also interested in the Ricci curvature and related partial differential equations, and its applications in the general theory of relativity, quantum fields etc.
讲座主题：Probability in science
讲座摘要: The idea of randomness has been applied in various branches of science. An important branch of theoretical physics, called the Statistical Mechanics, which is known the probability theory to physicists. Today the study of statistical models has again become an active research area. This talk, however, is not devoted to this aspect of probability theory, rather I shall discuss a few 'random' ideas which, in my view may be useful for those who are more interested in fundamental science, instead of few mathematical results. I shall more concentrate on ideas and a special topic - Feynman-Kac's method, which may be useful in order to make progress in some parts of science.
