This book is a final year undergraduate text on stochastic processes,a tool used widely by statisticians and researchers working in the mathematics of finance。 The book will give a detailed treatment of conditional expectation and probability,a topic which in principle belongs to probability theory,but is essential as a tool for stochastic processes。 Although the book is a final year text,the author has chosen to use exercises as the main means of explanation for the various topics,and the book will have a strong self-study element。 The author has concentrated on the major topics within stochastic analysis: Stochastic Processes,Markov Chains,Spectral Theory,Renewal Theory,Martingales and Itô Stochastic Processes。
