Abstract
In this chapter we consider the examples of natural systems which can be described with stochastic differential equations. These systems cover the wide range of applications from physics to biology. However, they don’t require the deep knowledge of the corresponding fields of science. The majority of sections are not closely connected with each other, and one can read them in any sequence, independently. The first stochastic differential equation was written by Paul Langevin in 1908. It is this very equation that opens the present chapter.
