<br/><br/> First-passage properties underlie a wide range of stochastic processes, such as diffusion-limited growth, neuron firing, and the triggering of stock options. This book provides a unified presentation of first-passage processes, which highlights their interrelations with electrostatics and the resulting powerful consequences. The goal of this book is to help whose with modest backgrounds learn essential results quickly.
