How will studying "stochastic process" help me as mathematician?? I wish to decide if I should take a course called "INTRODUCTION TO STOCHASTIC PROCESSES" which will be held next semester in my University.
I can make an un-educated guess that stochastic processes are important in  mathematics. But I am also curious to know how. i.e, in what fields/methods, will basic understanding in "stochastic processes" will help me do better mathematics?
