Some background on probability -- 2. Some gambling problems -- 3. Random walks -- 4. Markov Chains -- 5. Poisson processes -- 6. Birth and death processes -- 7. Queues -- 8. Reliability and renewal -- 9. Branching and other random processes -- 10. Computer simulations and projects; AS N2 - This text begins with a review of relevant fundamental probability. It then covers several basic gambling problems, random walks, and Markov chains. The authors go on to develop random processes continuous in time, including Poisson, birth and death processes, and general population models UR - https://www.worldcat.org/title/stochastic-processes-an-introduction/oclc/429816920&referer=brief_results ER -
