Providing a tutorial overview of stochastic processes as well as additional applications, Physics of Stochastic Processes compiles the latest research projects useful for anybody interested in how randomness acts. Describing basic mathematical and physical theory, every chapter contains both simple and sophisticated examples with detailed calculations. This key topic in physics which can be applied also to financial modeling, life sciences, and traffic flow simulations serves as the ideal reference for students in physics, along with physicists, theoretical physicists and biophysicists.
