Brownian Motion

Stochastic processes occur in a large number of fields in sciences and engineering, so they need to be understood by applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists alike. This work is ideal for a first course introducing the reader gently to the subject matter of stochastic processes. It uses Brownian motion since this is a stochastic process which is central to many applications and which allows for a treatment without too many technicalities. All chapters are modular and are written in a style where the lecturer can "pick and mix" topics. A "dependence chart" will guide the reader when arrange her/his own digest of material.
