Informal Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Maple

The book presents an introduction to Stochastic Processes including   Markov Chains, Birth and Death processes, Brownian motion and   Autoregressive models. The emphasis is on simplifying both the  underlying mathematics and the conceptual understanding of random  processes. In particular, non-trivial computations are delegated to  a computer-algebra system, specifically Maple (although other  systems can be easily substituted). Moreover, great care is tak
