This unit will concentrate on the study of random processes, models of systems in which a random quantity varies through time. Renewal processes, Markov processes in discrete and continuous time and branching processes will be covered in detail. These provide models of, amongst other things, industrial processes, queuing systems, population growth and many other fundamental systems in the physical, biological and social sciences.
