Elements of the random walk : an introduction for advanced students and researchers / Joseph Rudnick, George Gaspari.
Rudnick, Joseph Alan, 1944-| Call Number | 519.2/82 |
| Author | Rudnick, Joseph Alan, 1944- author. |
| Title | Elements of the random walk : an introduction for advanced students and researchers / Joseph Rudnick, George Gaspari. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xv, 329 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | Random walks have proven to be a useful model in understanding processes across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. Elements of the Random Walk is an introduction to some of the most powerful and general techniques used in the application of these ideas. The mathematical construct that runs through the analysis of the topics covered in this book, unifying the mathematical treatment, is the generating function. Although the reader is introduced to analytical tools, such as path-integrals and field-theoretical formalism, the book is self-contained in that basic concepts are developed and relevant fundamental findings fully discussed. Mathematical background is provided in supplements at the end of each chapter, when appropriate. This text will appeal to graduate students across science, engineering and mathematics who need to understand the applications of random walk techniques, as well as to established researchers. |
