In May 2006 The University of Utah hosted an NSF-funded minicourse on stochastic partial
differential equations. The goal of this minicourse was to introduce graduate students and
recent Ph.D.s to various modern topics in stochastic PDEs and to bring together several
experts whose research is centered on the interface between Gaussian analysis stochastic
analysis and stochastic partial differential equations. This monograph contains an up-to-date
compilation of many of those lectures. Particular emphasis is paid to showcasing central ideas
and displaying some of the many deep connections between the mentioned disciplines all the
time keeping a realistic pace for the student of the subject.
