This e-book is the results of lectures which I gave dur ing the educational 12 months 1972-73 to third-year scholars a~ Aarhus collage in Denmark. the aim of the ebook, as of the lectures, is to survey a number of the major topics within the glossy conception of stochastic procedures. In my prior booklet chance: ! survey of the mathe matical idea I gave a quick evaluation of "classical" proba bility arithmetic, concentrating particularly on sums of inde pendent random variables. i didn't speak about particular appli cations of the idea; I did attempt for a spirit pleasant to software through coming to grips as quickly as i may with the key difficulties and methods and by means of heading off too excessive degrees of abstraction and completeness. whilst, i attempted to make the proofs either rigorous and encouraged and to teach how definite effects have developed instead of simply proposing them in polished ultimate shape. a similar comments follow to this e-book, a minimum of as a press release of intentions, and it could function a sequel to the sooner one carrying on with the tale within the related variety and spirit. The contents of the current publication fall approximately into components. the 1st offers ordinarily with desk bound methods, which offer the math for describing phenomena in a gradual country total yet topic to random fluctuations. bankruptcy four is the guts of this part.
