The first part presents a systematic collection of the mathematical background material needed to understand probability, statistics, and stochastic processes as a prerequisite for the increasingly challenging practical applications in chemistry and the life sciences examined in the second part. Recent advances in the development of new techniques and in the resolution of conventional experiments at nano-scales have been tremendous: today molecular spectroscopy can provide insights into processes down to scales at which current theories at the interface of physics, chemistry and the life sciences cannot be successful without a firm grasp of randomness and its sources. Routinely measured data is now sufficiently accurate to allow the direct recording of fluctuations. As a result, the sampling of data and the modeling of relevant processes are doomed to produce artifacts in interpretation unless the observer has a solid background in the mathematics of limited reproducibility. The material covered is presented in a modular approach, allowing more advanced sections to be skipped if the reader is primarily interested in applications. At the same time, most derivations of analytical solutions for the selected examples are provided in full length to guide more advanced readers in their attempts to derive solutions on their own. The book employs uniform notation throughout, and a glossary has been added to define the most important notions discussed.Springer Series in Synergetics,0172-7389Statistical physicsDynamical systemsChemistry, Physical and theoreticalBiophysicsBiological physicsBiomathematicsBiostatisticsSystems biologyComplex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Theoretical and Computational Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Mathematical and Computational Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000Biostatisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15020Systems Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15010Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Biophysics.Biological physics.Biomathematics.Biostatistics.Systems biology.Complex Systems.Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Biostatistics.Systems Biology.530Schuster Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut347111BOOK9910136623703321Stochasticity in Processes2536037UNINA
