Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer
Hardcover. This book provides a clear and straightforward introduction to applications of probability theory with examples given in the biological sciences and engineering.The first chapter contains a summary of basic probability theory. Chapters two to five deal with random variables and their applications. Topics covered include geometric probability, estimation of animal and plant populations, reliability theory and computer simulation. Chapter six contains a lucid account of the convergence of sequences of random variables, with emphasis on the central limit theorem and the weak law of numbers. The next four chapters introduce random processes, including random walks and Markov chains illustrated by examples in population genetics and population growth. This edition also includes two chapters which introduce, in a manifestly readable fashion, the topic of stochastic differential equations and their applications. This book provides a clear and straightforward introduction to applications of probability theory with examples given in the biological sciences, engineering, and physical, social and statistical sciences. It also introduces the topic of stochastic differential equations and their applications. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

For the second edition, two additional chapters, Chapters 11 and 12, have been written. The added material should make the book suitable for two consecutive courses in elementary and intermediate applications of probability. The new material consists of an introduction to stochastic differential equations. It is hoped that this will be useful for applied mathematical modelling of the behaviour of many naturally occurring randomly fluctuating quantities. An attempt has been made to explain the material with a certain amount of rigour, but hopefully without so much detail that a practical understanding is impaired. The stochastic differential equations in this book are first order equations with an additional noise term. This added term usually contains a Gaussian 'white noise' so that the resulting solution is called a diffusion process. Chapter 11 starts with a brief reminder of the nature of ordinary determinis tic differential equations, followed by an explanation of the essential differences between deterministic and stochastic equations. These have been illustrated with data in neurophysiology and economics. There follows a thorough discussion of the properties of the standard Wiener process which forms a cornerstone of the theory, and a section on white noise which is a useful concept, especially for modelling. The simplest stochastic differential equations, being those of the Wiener process with drift, are then introduced.
