Second, while leading the reader on this journey, it aims to impart the knowledge needed in order to develop algorithms that simulate realistic physical systems. Connections with several fields of pure and applied physics, from quantum mechanics to econophysics, are provided. Furthermore, the inclusion of fully solved exercises will enable the reader to learn quickly and to explore topics not covered in the main text. The book will appeal especially to graduate students wishing to learn how to simulate physical systems and to deepen their knowledge of the mathematical framework, which has very deep connections with modern quantum field theorySummary: 1 Review of Probability Theory -- 2 Applications to Mathematical Statistics -- 3 Conditional Probability and Conditional Expectation -- 4 Markov Chains -- 5 Sampling of Random Variables and Simulation -- 6 Brownian Motion -- 7 Introduction to Stochastic Calculus and Ito Integral -- 8 Introduction to Stochastic Differential Equations and Applications -- Bibliography -- SolutionsPPN: PPN: 1026847761Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
