Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) are mathematical models for systems influenced by deterministic trends and random fluctuations. They are crucial in finance for stock price modeling and in physics for particle motion. SDEs are solved using analytical methods, numerical schemes like Euler-Maruyama, and Monte Carlo simulations. Challenges include parameter estimation and computational complexity. SDEs have diverse applications across industries, from risk management to drug kinetics.
