托马斯·罗伯特·马尔萨斯（1766—1834），英国经济学家，牧师，著名学者，主要研究领域为政治经济学和人口学。《人口原理》是他最重要的著作，对后世产生了重大影响。他在书中提出了重要的人口过剩问题，并预言，人口增长率是不可维持的，持续的人口增长最终会导致贫困。尽管本书引起了很大的争议，但其无疑是十八至十九世纪最重要的著作之一，影响深远，甚至达尔文和他的自然选择理论都受到其影响。

This book provides a rigorous but elementary introduction to the theory of Markov Processes on a countable state space. It should be accessible to students with a solid undergraduate background in mathematics, including students from engineering, economics, physics, and biology. Topics covered are: Doeblin's theory, general ergodic properties, and continuous time processes. A w...(展开全部)

A vigorous response to the challenges of incorporating computer use into the teaching and learning of stochastic processes, this book takes an applications- and computer-oriented approach rather than the standard formal and mathematically rigorous approach. It is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in operations research, management science, fin...(展开全部)

Intended for a calculus-based course in stochastic processes at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level, this text offers a modern, applied perspective. Instead of the standard formal and mathematically rigorous approach usual for texts for this course, Edward Kao emphasizes the development of operational skills and analysis through a variety of well-chosen examples.
