Abstract
The present course introduces the main concepts of the theory of stochastic processes and its applications. During the study, the students will get acquainted with various types of stochastic processes and learn to analyse their basic properties and characteristics. The material is anticipated to be of great interest for students willing to enhance their knowledge of stochastics and its use for the analysis of complex dynamical systems arising in various fields, such as economics or engineering.
The main purpose of this course is to introduce the main concepts of the theory of stochastic processes and provide some ideas for its application to the solution of various problems in economics, finance, and other related fields.
