These notes are based on a course of lectures given by Professor
Nelson at Princeton during the spring term of 1966. The subject of
Brownian motion has long been of interest in mathematical
probability. In these lectures, Professor Nelson traces the history
of earlier work in Brownian motion, both the mathematical theory,
and the natural phenomenon with its physical interpretations. He
continues through recent dynamical theories of Brownian motion, and
concludes with a discussion of the relevance of these theories to
quantum field theory and quantum statistical mechanics. Originally
published in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
