Description

Book Synopsis
This textbook is an accessible introduction to stochastic processes and their applications, as well as methods for numerical simulation, for graduate students and researchers in physics. It includes coverage of the more exotic Levy processes, and a concise account of numerical methods for simulating stochastic systems driven by Gaussian noise.

Trade Review
'Jacobs is an enthusiastic, clear, and concise writer. He presents each theory by means of heuristic arguments and calculations.' Cosma Shalizi, Physics Today
'I think this book is a very nice introduction to the subject of stochastic processes.' Zentralblatt MATH
