Synopsis

This book develops models for processes in which events can occur only at discrete time points, such as a Bernoulli process. This includes practical situations such as the ruin of a gambler and the extinction of a family surname. The book is divided into three sections:-Part I Branching Process, Part II Random Walks and Part III Markov Chains. The book contains both activities, which are included at various points in the text and exercises, which are placed at the end of some sections. Solutions to these may be found at the back of the book. Unfortunately three chapters of the book refer to the computer book and course software which is currently not available for sale.
