About The Book
Random Walks: A Modern Introduction by J. Klafter explores the fascinating and versatile theory of random walks, a concept first introduced by Karl Pearson in 1905. The book traces the origins of random walks in scientific thought, beginning with early work by Karl Pearson, Albert Einstein, and Louis Bachelier, and shows how this mathematical approach has been applied to a broad range of disciplines, from physics and chemistry to economics and biology.
Random walks model a variety of real-world processes, including simple diffusion and more complex behaviors such as sub- and super-diffusive transport processes. Klafter provides a comprehensive discussion of the main variants of random walks and the key mathematical tools needed to understand their theoretical description.
This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the applications of random walk theory, offering insights into its significance in many fields. It is suitable for students and researchers looking to deepen their understanding of this fundamental concept in modern science.
