It covers all the important notations of probability theory and stochastic processes that are crucial for students to overcome their initial challenges during their studies. It thoroughly discusses the concepts of stochastic processes, both Markov and non-Markov processes, as well as stochastic calculus. With a special focus on finance, the book dedicates three chapters to explore the applications of stochastic processes in options, credit risk and insurance. Organized into sixteen chapters and one appendix, the book takes the readers to a well-organized learning. To fully grasp the intricacies of stochastic processes, students are expected to have a solid grounding in real analysis, linear algebra, and differential equations. Practical examples are emphasized throughout the book, carefully selected from various fields. The exercises at the end of each chapter are designed with the same objective in mind. Stochastic processes play a significant role in various scientific disciplines and real-life applications. . 410 0$aUniversity Texts in the Mathematical Sciences,$x2731-9326 606 $aStochastic processes 606 $aMarkov processes 606 $aQueuing theory 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aStochastic Processes 606 $aMarkov Process 606 $aQueueing Theory 606 $aProbability Theory 615 0$aStochastic processes. 615 0$aMarkov processes. 615 0$aQueuing theory. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 14$aStochastic Processes. 615 24$aMarkov Process. 615 24$aQueueing Theory. 615 24$aProbability Theory. 676 $a519.23 700 $aSelvamuthu$b Dharmaraja$0767983 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911015859503321 996 $aIntroduction to Stochastic Processes$94409189 997 $aUNINA
