This book covers basic stochastic tools used in physics, chemistry, engineering and the life sciences. Each chapter is followed by exercises. The book will be useful for scientists and engineers working in a wide range of fields and applications.

The text illustrates the physical background and motivation for some constructions used in recent mathematical and numerical work on the Navier- Stokes equations and on hyperbolic systems, so as to interest students in this at once beautiful and difficult subject.

This book provides an introduction to the theory of turbulence in fluids based on the representation of the flow by means of its vorticity field.
