• Resumen

  • This survey is based on a course given by the author in the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila, as a part of the Intensive Programme Mathematical Models in Life and Social Sciences, in July 2008.

    It is a fast-paced introduction, aimed at graduate students, to the mathematical modelling of phenom-ena and experiments in which randomness is present. After the introductory first section, several examples from daily life, industry, biology, and finance are presented, and the necessary tools are introduced alongside, but without much mathematical detail.
