Random walks have proven to be a useful model in understanding processes across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. This book is an introduction to some of the most powerful and general techniques used in the application of these ideas. Its self-contained 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. "Excellent...In summary I warmly recommend a most rewarding and challenging textbook." Contemporary Physics, Professor D.S.F. Crothers "This is a fine work that fills a long-standing void in the study of introductory mathematical physics." The Leading Edge, John Stockwell A self-contained introduction to the applications of random walk techniques. Used Book in Good Condition
