Stochastic Calculus and Brownian Motion

Tejas Thakur

Summary

"Stochastic Calculus and Brownian Motion" is a comprehensive guide crafted for students and professionals in mathematical sciences, focusing on stochastic processes and their real-world applications in finance, physics, and engineering. We explore key concepts and mathematical foundations of random movements and their practical implications.At its core, the book delves into Brownian motion, the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, as described by Robert Brown in the 19th century. This phenomenon forms a cornerstone of modern probability theory and serves as a model for randomness in physical systems and financial models describing stock market behaviors.We also cover martingales, mathematical sequences where future values depend on present values, akin to a fair game in gambling. The book demonstrates how martingales are used to model stochastic processes and their calibration in real-world scenarios.Stochastic calculus extends these ideas into continuous time, integrating calculus with random processes. Our guide provides the tools to understand and apply Itô calculus, crucial for advanced financial models like pricing derivatives and managing risks.Written clearly and systematically, the book includes examples and exercises to reinforce concepts and showcase their real-world applications. It serves as an invaluable resource for students, educators, and professionals globally.

Ice Rivers - A Story of Glaciers...

Jemma Wadham

This audiobook narrated by Jemma Wadham gives a passionate eyewitness account of the mysteries and looming demise of glaciers—and what their fate means for our shared future

The ice sheets and glaciers that cover one-tenth of Earth's land surface are today in grave peril. High in the Alps, Andes, and Himalaya, once-indomitable glaciers are retreating, even dying. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, thinning glaciers may be unlocking vast quantities of methane stored for millions of years beneath the ice. In Ice Rivers, renowned glaciologist Jemma Wadham offers a searing personal account of glaciers and the rapidly unfolding crisis that they—and we—face.

Taking readers on a personal journey from Europe and Asia to Antarctica and South America, Wadham introduces majestic glaciers around the globe as individuals—even friends—each with their own unique character and place in their community. Defying their first appearance as silent, passive, and lifeless, she reveals that glaciers are, in fact, as alive as a forest or soil, teeming with microbial life and deeply connected to almost everything we know. They influence crucial systems on which people depend, from lucrative fisheries to fertile croplands, and represent some of the most sensitive and dynamic parts of our world. Their fate is inescapably entwined with our own, and the potential consequences are almost unfathomable unless we act to abate the greenhouse warming of our planet.

A riveting blend of cutting-edge research and tales of encounters with polar bears and survival under the midnight sun, Ice Rivers is an unforgettable portrait of—and love letter to—our vanishing icy wildernesses.

Resetting the Alarm - PTSD The...

Dr Murli Krishna

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not a sign of weakness. It is a real condition rooted in how the nervous system responds to threat, trauma, and prolonged stress.
This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate, and evidence-informed explanation of PTSD through the lens of nervous system physiology. Designed for individuals with PTSD, their loved ones, clinicians, veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking understanding, it explains why symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, emotional numbing, sleep disturbance, and physical tension can persist long after the original trauma has passed.
Drawing on clinical experience and current scientific understanding, the audiobook explores how trauma can lead to persistent activation of the body’s stress response system. These symptoms are described as real, involuntary, and biologically driven — protective in origin, not signs of personal failure or psychological weakness.
Current management approaches are discussed, including trauma-focused psychological therapies, medication, lifestyle strategies, and emerging biological interventions aimed at calming the nervous system. One such intervention explored is the stellate ganglion block (SGB), a targeted procedure acting on the sympathetic nervous system that has shown promising results in some individuals with PTSD, particularly in reducing hyperarousal, sleep disruption, and anxiety symptoms.
SGB is presented cautiously and responsibly — as a potential adjunct, not a cure. Responses vary between individuals, long-term data are still evolving, and recovery from PTSD is often gradual, non-linear, and multi-faceted. The aim of this audiobook is to reduce shame, provide clarity, set realistic expectations, and support informed conversations with healthcare providers.

Theory of Relativity

Introbooks Team

Theory of relativity is a combination of two different theories or says two different combinations. First, one is Einstein’s special relativity theory and second one is general relativity theory. Concepts included in theory of relativity consider space-time as a single unified entity. According to concepts of theory of relativity, following are the elements of unified entity of space-time:Space and time (of course)Relativity of simultaneityKinematicDilation gravitational timeLength contraction
Term of relative theory was firstly used by Max Planck in 1906. The whole theory of relativity is based on this term. Max Planck described how the principles of relativity theory could be applied on practical events and various theories. Later on, in the same discussion term Theory of relativity was used by Alfred Bucherer.
Relativity theory is considered a unified representative of multiple physical theories. Concepts from more than one physical theory are explained and broadly discussed in this theory, which makes this theory real broad and deep. During 20th century concepts and ideas of theory of relativity has transformed many theoretical concepts of physics and astronomy. In the most basic version of theory of relativity, 200-year old theory of mechanics was used as a base for further studies and descriptions. Isaac Newton is said to be the founder of theory of mechanics, not the whole theory but he developed and explained many concepts that are contained in theory of mechanics. The whole concept of gravity was introduced by him. In physics, theory of relativity contributed a lot to develop or improve the concept of elementary particles. Concepts of relativity theory were used to understand interaction of elementary particles more deeply. Theory of relativity also helped the world to move in the right direction to reach enhanced nuclear era. Not only in physics, have theory of relativity also contributed in fields of cosmology and astrophysics. Thanks to the application in theory of relativity, astronomical phenomena were predicted and eventually proved real too. These phenomena are consisting of following:Neutron starsBlack holesGravitational waves
As described, Theory of relativity not only helps researches in physics, but also in cosmology and astrophysics. This broad theory became concern for cosmology since the basic concepts as black holes are explained by theory of relativity. Many concepts that are a part of astrophysics use many concepts and ideas of theory of relativity as a base for further researches and explanation. Being a solid combination of multiple theories, theory of relativity becomes a thing of concern for practitioners of physics, astrology, cosmology and astrophysics as well. In this book, main concepts of theory of relativity are covered. Both parts of this theory, which are general relativity and special relativity, are discussed broadly. This short introduction covers from history of this theory and to scope of the very same theory. It will provide a breakthrough in the broad theory of relativity that will help beginners to cover broad concepts easily.
