Query: Not what I thought it would be

I am giving this book two stars based on its usefulness for me. I am wading through the book now, and it's going very slowly.I made the mistake of equating teaching stochastic processes through exercises as meaning that those exercises were application oriented. It turns out that there is very little application in the book at all, so I am having a hard time with it.I just wanted to warn other business academics (and non-mathematicians in general) who might be tempted to make the foray into stochastic processes by way of this book. Despite brief opening remarks in each chapter about where these concepts might be applied, you're pretty much left on your own to imagine how. Plus, you need to realize that it's written for someone who came up through the ranks as a mathematician, not a (albeit quantitatively oriented) business scholar.
