I'm a first-semester mathematics student, however I already feel the need of a certain goal, or rather an area I'd like to specialize in. For a quite a while, that's been the study of stochastic processes.
Therefore I'd like to ask you what would be the required knowledge and skills in order to begin my study (that would be the main question), but I'd also be very glad to receive any general advices and hints, or maybe even reasons why I shouldn't go for stochastic processes (who knows :)
Thanks a lot for any responses!
