DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\n\nAfter a brief conceptual review of aims and too
 ls\, we will cover the Probabilistic Numerical approach to quadrature (int
 egration) and optimisation (quasi-newton methods and stochastic gradient d
 escent).\n\n*Reading:*\n\nThere is no required reading\, however Persi Dia
 conis’ 1988 paper "Bayesian Numerical Analysis":http://probabilistic-num
 erics.org/assets/pdf/Diaconis_1988.pdf provides a good\, historical introd
 uction to the subject matter of probabilistic numerics.
