When my son was in elementary school, I found myself in the room where they had music classes, of all things, where they had a poster showing Albert Einstein and a quote from him.

It read:

"If you think you have problems with math, I assure you mine are much worse." I suspect it was a true statement.

I loved that poster. You really don't need a friendly way to solve stochastic differential equations. Many people live very useful and fascinating lives without them.

I came across this book because I was curious about the physics of bubbles because. People who read about the physics of bubbles probably need to get a life, and I'll bet that you don't need to get a life, since you already have one.

At least I'm not like a Republican who says: "I'm not a scientist BUT..." and then proceeds to spout some nonsense that they think backs their bullshit. I know when I need to sit down, shut up and let those that are smarter than me take the lead. But it looks like I am in good company with Einstein - LOL.

...a fair amount of somewhat "unfriendly" jargon in the text.

The trick is to struggle through and dig through to get what you need.

I may need my son's help with this.

I'm actually not all that smart, but I am persistent. I'm definitely not as smart as my sons, although they may be too young to recognize this yet. They will; they will.

I'm getting old and I want to do as many beautiful things as I can before I die.

The question of bubbles in liquid metals of changing composition is a beautiful thing to think about, at least in a certain frame of mind.

That's how I came across this book. I found the statement about friendliness amusing and posted it here.

... signal processing so I took a graduate class on random signals and stochastic processes. It was really interesting. The statistical approach to looking at things helps a lot when dealing with particle physics.

Climate reddening increases the chance of critical transitions.

Specifically this paper on signals derived from white noise before white noise was discovered to be speeches by Lindsay Graham in the Republican controlled US Senate: A statistical model of flicker noise

It's an old paper, but still generating citations.
