Continuous random variables
Teo Banica
This is an introduction to probability, written with a quantum idea in mind, namely that the semicircle law comes first. We first discuss discrete probability, notably with the bin…
Advanced linear algebra
Teo Banica
This is an introduction to advanced linear algebra, with emphasis on geometric aspects, and with some applications included too. We first review basic linear algebra, notably with…
Calculus and applications
Teo Banica
This is an introduction to calculus, and its applications to basic questions from physics. We first discuss the theory of functions , with the notion of co…
Invitation to finite groups
Teo Banica
This is an introduction to the finite groups, with focus on the groups of permutations and reflections, and more generally, on the finite groups of unitary matrices. We first discu…
Easy quantum groups
Teo Banica
A closed subgroup is called easy when its associated Tannakian category appears from a category of partitions, $C=span(D…
Basic quantum algebra
Teo Banica
This is an introduction to quantum algebra, from a geometric perspective. The classical spaces , such as the Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, or more general manifolds, are descr…
