Integration Of Stochastic Differential Equations On A Computer

A brief introduction to the simulation of stochastic differential equations is presented. Algorithms to simulate rare fluctuations, a topic of interest in the light of recent theoretical work on optimal paths are studied. Problems connected to the treatment of the boundaries and correlated noise will also be discussed.
