	Stochastic calculus - TheBestLinks.com - Albert Einstein, Brownian motion, Differential equation, Diffusion, ...
		Stochastic calculus is a branch of mathematics that provides the formal framework and mathematical tools needed for modelling stochastic processes, which are specified through one or more integral and/or differential equations involving both deterministic and random (i.e.
		The most well-known stochastic process to which stochastic calculus is applied is the Wiener process (named in honor of Norbert Wiener), which is used for modelling Brownian motion as described by Albert Einstein and other physical diffusion processes in space of particles subject to random forces.
		The main flavours of stochastic calculus are the Ito calculus and the Malliavin calculus.

	Stochastic Calculus and Financial Applications Reviews and Comments on the Text
		The goal of the course is to offer serious professional training in stochastic calculus for people who expect to spend a lifetime engaging quantitative models.
		The book is primarily about the core theory of stochastic calculus, but it focuses on those parts of the theory that have really proved that they can "pay the rent" in practical applications.
		There is not a ton of stochastic calculus in these books, but there certainly are some interesting connections that help explain how stochastic calculus found its place in the world.

	Stochastic Calculus in Mathematica -- from Mathematica Information Center
		Stochastic calculus is an extension of the standard calculus found in most math textbooks.
		We will describe the definition of stochastic objects with components relating to their infinitesimal behavior, giving the name of the process, the underlying Wiener or driving process, the drift and dispersion rates, initial value, and time variable.
		Stochastic integration is developed so that repeated substitutions of the Itô integral can be expanded out to give a Stochastic Taylor Series representation of any stochastic process in the manner described by Platen and Kloeden in their Springer-Verlag texts.

	Stochastic Summary
		Stochastic, from the Greek "stochos" or "goal", means of, relating to, or characterized by conjecture and randomness.
		A stochastic process is one whose behavior is non-deterministic in that the next state of the environment is partially but not fully determined by the previous state of the environment.
		Stochastic music was pioneered by Iannis Xenakis, who used probability, game theory, group theory, set theory, and Boolean algebra, and frequently used computers to produce his scores.

		The importance of a fractional Brownian motion as a stochastic model has been emphasized in a wide variety of applications such as hydrology, economics, and telecommunications, so it is natural to expect that this work should have wide applicability.
		Since a stochastic calculus is available now for a fractional Brownian motion, it is important to focus on the applications of this new calculus.
		The goal is to develop further the stochastic calculus for a fractional Brownian motion similar to the way the stochastic calculus for Brownian motion was developed to provide the tools for solving problems of stochastic systems with a fractional Brownian motion.

	Option Pricing Theory and Risk Neutral Valuation
		Using stochastic calculus and certain simplifying assumptions, Black and Scholes took the limiting case as the frequency of rehedging approaches infinity.
		The risk neutral approach tends to entail extensive use of stochastic calculus with changes of measure between a "real world" and a "risk neutral" world.
		For this reason, it (and analogous approaches) tend to be called the stochastic calculus approach.

	Amazon.com: Stochastic Calculus and Financial Applications: Books: J. Michael Steele (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Steele provides a lot of detail to the subject, perhaps in mind with the view that readers using stochastic calculus with more general underlying processes will have to understand the difference between a martingale and "just" a local martingale.
		The prerequisite, though, is at least a (rigorous undergrad) course in real analysis, probably some familiarity with measure theory, probability, and L(p) spaces (or at least L(1,2,inf) spaces), and at least basic familiarity with the elements of stochastic calculus (Ito's lemma and computations with "box calculus", for example).
		In general, when mathematicians state that a minimal prerequistive is calculus, they are not refering to the calculus that a science major such as a physicist would study...

		The vehicle chosen for this exposition is Brownian motion, which is presented as the canonical examplpe of both a martingale and a Markov process with continuous paths.
		In this context, the theory of stochatic integration and stochastic calculus is developed.
		The power of this calculus is illustrated by results concerning representations of martingales and change of measure on Weiner space, and these in turn permit a presentation of recent advances in financial economics (option pricing and consumption/investment optimization).
