Here is an introduction to the theory of continuous-time stochastic processes. A balance of theory and applications, the work features concrete examples of modeling real-world problems from engineering, biomathematics, industrial mathematics, and finance using stochastic methods. Key topics include: • Interacting particles, from polymers to ants • Population dynamics: birth and death processes • Financial market models: the non-arbitrage principle • Option pricing: the risk-neutral valuation theory An Introduction to Continuous-Time Stochastic Processes will be of interest to a broad audience of students, pure and applied mathematicians, and researchers or practitioners in mathematical finance, biomathematics, biotechnology, and engineering. Suitable as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, the work may also be used for self-study or as a reference.
