Book Descriptions:

An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology, Second Edition presents the basic theory of stochastic processes necessary in understanding and applying stochastic methods to biological problems in areas such as population growth and extinction, drug kinetics, two-species competition and predation, the spread of epidemics, and the genetics of inbreeding. Because of their rich structure, the text focuses on discrete and continuous time Markov chains and continuous time and state Markov processes.

New to the Second Edition

• A new chapter on stochastic differential equations that extends the basic theory to multivariate processes, including multivariate forward and backward Kolmogorov differential equations and the multivariate Itô’s formula


• The inclusion of examples and exercises from cellular and molecular biology


• Double the number of exercises and MATLAB^® programs at the end of each chapter


• Answers and hints to selected exercises in the appendix


• Additional references from the literature

This edition continues to provide an excellent introduction to the fundamental theory of stochastic processes, along with a wide range of applications from the biological sciences. To better visualize the dynamics of stochastic processes, MATLAB programs are provided in the chapter appendices.

From reader reviews:

Joe Hessler:

Information is provisions for anyone to get better life, information currently can get by anyone in everywhere. The information can be a understanding or any news even a huge concern. What people must be consider when those information which is from the former life are hard to be find than now could be taking seriously which one is acceptable to believe or which one the actual resource are convinced. If you find the unstable resource then you have it as your main information it will have huge disadvantage for you. All of those possibilities will not happen with you if you take An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology, Second Edition as the daily resource information.

Eleanor Yoo:

Reading a e-book can be one of a lot of task that everyone in the world loves. Do you like reading book thus. There are a lot of reasons why people love it. First reading a reserve will give you a lot of new information.

When you studying a book especially fiction book the author will bring you to imagine the story how the characters do it anything. Third, you could share your knowledge to other people. When you read this An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology, Second Edition, you are able to tells your family, friends and soon about yours publication. Your knowledge can inspire different ones, make them reading a book.

Victoria Manson:

Is it a person who having spare time then spend it whole day by watching television programs or just lying on the bed? Do you need something totally new? This An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology, Second Edition can be the reply, oh how comes? A book you know. You are thus out of date, spending your time by reading in this completely new era is common not a nerd activity. So what these guides have than the others?

William Ochoa:

What is your hobby? Have you heard that will question when you got learners? We believe that that query was given by teacher for their students. Many kinds of hobby, All people has different hobby. Therefore you know that little person just like reading or as looking at become their hobby. You have to know that reading is very important and also book as to be the issue. Book is important thing to provide you knowledge, except your own teacher or lecturer. You get good news or update about something by book. Many kinds of books that can you decide to try be your object. One of them is actually An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology, Second Edition.
