Melnikov A. A Course of Stochastic Analysis 2023 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The main subject of the book is stochastic analysis and its various applications to mathematical finance and statistics of random processes. The main purpose of the book is to present, in a short and sufficiently self-contained form, the methods and results of the contemporary theory of stochastic analysis and to show how these methods and results work in mathematical finance and statistics of random processes. The book can be considered as a textbook for both senior undergraduate and graduate courses on this subject. The book can be helpful for undergraduate and graduate students, instructors and specialists on stochastic analysis and its applications.
The book is based on the lecturers given by the author in different times at Lomonosov Moscow State University, State University-Higher School of Economics, University of Copenhagen, and at the University of Alberta.
