Markov Processes & Diffusion: Textbook Reference

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a course on mathematical methods in physics, specifically focusing on Markov processes and diffusion. A key concern is the lack of notes or a reference textbook from the professor. Participants recommend "Probability and Stochastic Processes: A Friendly Introduction for Electrical and Computer Engineers, 2nd Edition" as a suitable resource, noting its accessibility and relevance for the topics covered in the course.

This semester I have a course on mathematical methods in physics. It's in three parts and the first professor is talking about Markov processes (discrete and continuous time) and diffusion. The problem is he doesn't have any notes or a reference textbook.

Do you know any textbook on these topics?

Probability and Stochastic Processes: A Friendly Introduction for Electrical and Computer Engineers, 2nd Edition

That's the one we use at my school; it's pretty friendly.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
