Online Teaching Material

• 2010-: Institut Mines-Télécom Atlantique, Brest, lectures (in French) on nonstationary processes (Mathematical and Computational Engineering Lectures).
  My 3^rd year lectures on nonstationary processes for the academic year 2020-2021 will take place in March 2021. They have been quite rewritten from scratch, after reviewing a long series of papers and books (over 70 and counting) on these issues for Mathematical Reviews®. The new section on deep learning and AI is obviously expanding. The writing of the book supporting these lectures is in progress.
  List of past lectures for the academic year 2020-2021:
  • Lecture 1 (Monday 8^th March 2021): Volatility models. GARCH model: definition, properties, dependence structure, QML estimation. Slides
  • Lecture 2 (Tuesday 9^th March 2021): Exponential GARCH model. Bootstrap methods and their application to model-free prediction and inference of univariate models. Multivariate models. Change-point models. Slides
  • Lecture 3 (Monday 22^th March 2021): Long-range dependent and multifractal volatility models. Wavelet analysis of volatility processes. Slides
  • Lecture 4 (Tuesday 23^th March2021): Volatility estimation of high frequency time series. Deep Learning: convolutional, recurrent and hybrid architectures, with the PyTorch and fast.ai libraries. Slides
• 2009: Aarhus University, PhD lectures, based on the draft version of the book Large Sample Inference for Long Memory Processes (2012) Imperial College Press. In 2013, I wrote the review of this book for Mathematical Reviews®. If you are a MathSciNet subscriber, you could read this review from my  author profile
  Additional material not covered in that book: Slides
• 2006-2007: Ensae, lectures (in French) on Long-range dependence and change-points, Applications to univariate and multivariate financial time series: Leçon 1 : Processus fortement dépendants, Transparents ; Leçon 2 : Tests de détection de longue portée et estimateurs du paramètre de longue portée, Transparents; Leçon 3 : Tests de détection de ruptures, Transparents; Leçon 4 : Méthodes statistiques robustes aux ruptures, Transparents.
• 1993-1996: Lectures on optimization techniques with Maple. I have typed a 200 pages document.

Other Teaching and Supervision Resources

• Open Math Notes is a repository of freely downloadable mathematical works in progress hosted by the American Mathematical Society as a service to researchers, teachers and students.
• The January 2013 and May 2011 issues of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society contain two introductory papers on wavelets: Wavelets (2013), vol 60, 66-76, , and Discrete wavelet transformations and undergraduate education (2011), vol 58, 656-666, .
  See also the interview with Yves Meyer published in May 2018 in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society , and the lecture, in French, by Yves Meyer entitled Les ondelettes et la révolution numérique.
• Two lectures by Benoît Mandelbrot on Fractals:
  • L'anneau fractal de l'art à l'art à travers la géométrie, la finance et les sciences,
  • Fractals in Science, Engineering and Finance (Roughness and Beauty).
• Three books on the art of writing mathematics: the two standard texts by respectively Paul Halmos, How to write mathematics (1970) , and Donald Knuth, Tracy L. Larrabee, and Paul M. Roberts Mathematical Writing, Mathematical Association of America, 1989, with the updates by Donald Knuth. Steven Krantz has recently issued the second edition of his book A Primer of Mathematical Writing, American Mathematical Society, 2017.
  Jean-Pierre Serre considers the other side of the issue with his funny lecture: How to Write Mathematics Badly. In the same spirit, the parody of scientific publication by Georges Perec: Experimental demonstration of the tomatotopic organization in the Soprano (Cantatrix sopranica L.). Georges Perec was documentalist at the CNRS, and I knew an economist well who had stopped working, and said things that were just as delirious in conferences where he was at a loss to present the works written mainly by his youngest co-author, and therefore began his presentation with long digressions (among other things his grandmother petitioned to Queen Victoria...).
• MathJax is an open source Javascript library that uses LaTeX and MathML for displaying mathematics on webpages, which works on all modern browsers and that I'm using for my web pages. Further details are provided by the paper published in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society MathJax: A Platform for Mathematics on the Web (2012), vol 59, 312-316, .
• Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet®), edited by the American Mathematical Society, is a useful reference tool for mathematicians (Every decent mathematician is indexed there). Its practical use is given in this tutorial.
