Fundamental concepts like the random walk or Brownian motion but also Levy-stable distributions are discussed. Applications are selected to show the interdisciplinary character of the concepts and methods. In the second edition of the book a discussion of extreme events ranging from their mathematical definition to their importance for financial crashes was included. The exposition of basic notions of probability theory and the Brownian motion problem as well as the relation between conservative diffusion processes and quantum mechanics is expanded. The second edition also enlarges the treatment of financial markets. Beyond a presentation of geometric Brownian motion and the Black-Scholes approach to option pricing as well as the econophysics analysis of the stylized facts of financial markets, an introduction to agent based modeling approaches is given.SociophysicsEconophysicsEconomics, Mathematical Economic theoryPhysicsMathematical physicsData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Buildinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030Quantitative Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Sociophysics.Econophysics.Economics, Mathematical .Economic theory.Physics.Mathematical physics.Data-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building.Quantitative Finance.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.330330.0151330.1519Paul Wolfgangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut464842Baschnagel Jörgauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910741194403321Stochastic Processes3552989UNINA
