Third Edition

By
Samuel Karlin, Stanford University and The Weizmann Institute of Science

Description
Serving as the foundation for a one-semester course in stochastic processes for students familiar with elementary probability theory and calculus, Introduction to Stochastic Modeling, Third Edition, bridges the gap between basic probability and an intermediate level course in stochastic processes. The objectives of the text are to introduce students to the standard concepts and methods of stochastic modeling, to illustrate the rich diversity of applications of stochastic processes in the applied sciences, and to provide exercises in the application of simple stochastic analysis to realistic problems.

Audience
Upper division undergraduate and graduate-level courses in stochastic processes and stochastic modeling, offered in statistics and mathematics departments at all major universities.
