Introduction to Stochastic Processes: Queues, Finance, and Credit Risk
About this ebook
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.
