Bibliografia

Instead we will make use of publicly available lecture notes, which will be provided topic by topic. The main reasons for this choice are: students save time; lecture notes are better "tailored" to each topic than just following a textbook. Detailed information about the readings for each topic of the syllabus is found in the course's web site at: www.cmc.de.iscte.pt. Here you can find not only the required reading list, but also slides, problem sets, solutions and many routines for Matlab (m-files). No textbook is explicitly adopted here. Those available are either focused on the typical undergraduate style (lots of intuition, little mathematical content), or on a typical postgraduate style with lots of mathematical and computational methods. One or another still try to fill in this gap, but they end up being extremely lengthy, not suitable for a 36 hours course like ours. :
