Stochastic Calculus: An Introduction with Applications

This is an introduction to stochastic calculus. I will assume that the reader has had a post-calculus course in probability or statistics. For much of these notes this is all that is needed, but to have a deep understanding of the subject, one needs to know measure theory and probability from that per-spective.

A Concise Course in Algebraic Topology J. P. May

needs of algebraic topologists would include spectral sequences and an array of calculations with them. In the end, the overriding pedagogical goal has been the introduction of basic ideas and methods of thought. Our understanding of the foundations of algebraic topology has undergone sub-tle but serious changes since I began teaching this course.

Correlation in Random Variables

Random Process • A random variable is a function X(e) that maps the set of ex- periment outcomes to the set of numbers. • A random process is a rule that maps every outcome e of an experiment to a function X(t,e). • A random process is usually conceived of as a function of time, but there is no reason to not consider random processes that are

1 Chapter 6: Random Processes - NTPU

Definition of a Random Process • Random experiment with sample space S. • To every outcome ζ ∈ S, we assign a function of time according to some rule: X(t,ζ) t ∈ I. • For fixed ζ, the graph of the function X(t,ζ) versus t is a sample function of the random process. • For each fixed tk from the index set I, X(tk,ζ) is a ...

ONE-DIMENSIONAL RANDOM WALKS

post- y process is just an independent simple random walk started at y. But (10) (with the roles of x,y reversed) implies that this random walk must eventually visit x. When this happens, the random walk restarts again, so it will go back to y, and so on. Thus, by an easy induction argu-ment (see Corollary 14 below): Theorem 4.

Introduction to Stochastic Processes - Lecture Notes

A random variable is said to be discrete if it takes at most countably many values. More precisely, Xis said to be discrete if there exists a finite or countable set SˆR such that P[X2S] = 1, i.e., if we know with certainty that the only values Xcan take are those in S. The smallest set S
