Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide an introduction to the subject of Stochastic Calculus. In the first part we talk about the Brownian motion, which we will see that it can be thought as a limit of random walks via Donsker’s Invariance Principle. Next, we heuristically present the stochastic differential equations and see how they can be rigorously defined with the help of the stochastic integral. Finally, we discuss the matter of existence and uniqueness of solutions to such equations and solve a rather simple case like the Langevin equation.
