This book provides an accessible introduction to stochastic processes in physics and describes the basic mathematical tools of the trade: probability, random walks, and Wiener and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. It includes end-of-chapter problems and emphasizes applications. An Introduction to Stochastic Processes in Physics builds directly upon early-twentieth-century explanations of the "peculiar character in the motions of the particles of pollen in water" as described, in the early nineteenth century, by the biologist Robert Brown. Lemons has adopted Paul Langevin's 1908 approach of applying Newton's second law to a "Brownian particle on which the total force included a random component" to explain Brownian motion. This method builds on Newtonian dynamics and provides an accessible explanation to anyone approaching the subject for the first time. Students will find this book a useful aid to learning the unfamiliar mathematical aspects of stochastic processes while applying them to physical processes that he or she has already encountered.

The binding is tight and square, and the interior pages are clean and unmarked.An Introduction to Stochastic Processes in Physics by Don S. Lemons offers a clear and accessible guide to the fundamental concepts of stochastic processes as they apply to physics. It introduces readers to key mathematical tools such as probability theory, random walks, Wiener processes, and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Using the historical context of Brownian motion and building upon Langevin's approach of incorporating random forces into Newtonian dynamics, the book provides intuitive explanations for students new to the subject. End-of-chapter problems and real-world applications make it especially suitable for those encountering stochastic methods for the first time.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment for protection from the elements.
