Abstract
We present an introduction to the theory of stochastic differential equations, motivating and explaining ideas from the point of view of analysis. First the notion of white noise is developed, introducing at the same time probabilistic tools. Then the one dimensional Langevin equation is formulated as a deterministic integral equation with a parameter. Its solution leads to stochastic convolution, which is defined as a Riemann-Stieltjes integral. It is shown that the parameter dependence yields a Gaussian system, of which the means and covariances arde computed. We conclude by introducing briefly the notion of invariant measure and the associated Kolmogorov equations.
