For mathematicians, this book can be used as a first text on stochastic calculus or as a companion to more rigorous texts by a way of examples and exercises. The book covers models in mathematical finance, biology and engineering. An Introduction to Stochastic Differential Equations. Here are some other useful texts, some of which are available in the library: Stochastic Differential Equations. Using such structure, the text will provide a mathematically literate reader with rapid introduction to the subject and its advanced applications. Introduction to Stochastic Calculus with Applications. It contains many solved examples and exercises making it suitable for self study.In the book many of the concepts are introduced through worked-out examples, eventually leading to a complete, rigorous statement of the general result, and either a complete proof, a partial proof or a reference. It is also suitable for researchers to gain working knowledge of the subject. It may be used as a textbook by graduate and advanced undergraduate students in stochastic processes, financial mathematics and engineering. Not everything is proved, but enough proofs are given to make it a mathematically rigorous exposition.This book aims to present the theory of stochastic calculus and its applications to an audience which possesses only a basic knowledge of calculus and probability.
In biology, it is applied to populations' models, and in engineering it is applied to filter signal from noise. In finance, the stochastic calculus is applied to pricing options by no arbitrage. It also gives its main applications in finance, biology and engineering. This book presents a concise and rigorous treatment of stochastic calculus.
