F,T6: Stochastic Dynamics of Particles and Fields – Overview

Contents

This lecture is intended as an introduction to the theoretical concepts used in describing stochastic physical and biological systems. It builds on the course "thermodynamics and statistical mechanics". The course starts with an introduction into the the theories of stochastic processes and analytical as well as numerical methods for analyzing stochastic dynamics. These methods are of particular importance in the molecular world of cellular systems but have broad range of applications far beyond biologically relevant systems.

This preliminary table of contents of the lecture notes can serve as an overview of the course's topics.
